Danger of getting snagged

[el_carpo]

Look at this story! This has to be either the luckiest or unluckiest fisherman I've seen in quite a while. I've had lures and hooks come flying at me and give me a scare but this is unbelievable! One more reason to wear sunglasses while fishing. Safety!

Very scary stuff.

Now I know why my father was always so adimant about me keeping my head turned when breaking off a snag when I was a kid.

"They showed me the X-ray and I just couldn't believe it," said Mr Williams

Yeah, me neither ::)

Snagged and reefing back using the rod, :P That's just asking to have an accident.

I bet he won't do that again.

They use big weights over there. I bet he's glad he didn't have one on with grapplers.

Saw one of those x-ray mockups the other day, old mate had a bowling pin lodged in his skull... ;) ;D
