When things go terribly wrong
So, last night was terrible. What would have been a fun, casual night of fishing with my pals turned into a nightmare and a 3 hour stay at the ER. Me and my buds Chory and Daniel were fishing and having a good ol’ time catching fish and sharing some laughs. An hour or so in, Chory hooks up to a full grown one. . . A full grown man that is. He caught Daniels face with his mirrolure when tossing out a cast. The lure is hanging from his face with blood everywhere and it appeared to be in his eye!!! Not good at all. Luckily, after getting a better look at it, the hooks came within millimeters of his eyeball and one of them actually pierced his eye lid. Phew, what a relief. . . There was a moment where I really thought that it caught his eyeball and that was the worst feeling ever. We got him to the ER and he will be making a full recovery. Although it was a freak accident from a result of terrible timing it served as a reminder of how fast things can go south, and how to always pay attention. Like my Mom always said “Look both ways before tossing a MirroLure.” Something along those lines. Here is a LINK to the photo of the accident (WARNING GRAPHIC!)
