15 yrs ago I was fishing the pond behind my old house. Fishing a rebel popper tiger striped(bass killed that thing in that pond). Got it stuck in a low hanging branch and popped it out, lure came screaming back at me kamikaze style and slammed into my shin. Lodged front and back treble hooks perfectly in there. Quick trip to the ER popped em right out.
6-8yrs ago I tried swinging a hefty trout onto the bank in west cove. Threw the hook and the jig head came flying back and shattered my brand new costas with the 580 lenses. After replacing those lenses 3 times in 2years I figured I was a little too adventurous for glass lenses.
Plenty more to come(damn't) but I'm heading to bed.
