Just a quick little survey to see if anyone will be able to measure up to my story from this weekend? In a small boat with 3 people....one being my girlfriends 10 year old son that still isn't the greatest at casting.. Well with a 5 awt (sp) off set shank gamagatzu hook and a 8" lizard he starts casting did well the first couple of times then wack right into the side of my neck....yes I said neck! The hook buried in right between my adam's apple and carotid artery. Needless to say I freaked out instantly....seconds later when I realized I wasn't bleeding out my BP dropped but man did it look nasty. Was at Kiser so the girlfriend had to row back to shore as quick as she could so we could get the squad called, all in all it was a good camping trip minus the few hours in Urbana ER. No lets hear some of ya'lls hooked stories...
P.s. Fishing report.....My girlfriends son caught a whopper...me! No other fish were even felt.
