Where's the worst place you've had a hook in you? When I was a kid my grandpa was casting a rattle trap and rared back to cast and sunk it in the back of my head. Felt like I got hit with a baseball bat. Had to cut the hooks out. I remember my uncle getting mad because I was wearing his hat and they had to cut it too lol.

In the calf. Rods were tied down on deck and I fell over board. Hung upside down trying to get to rod.
Almost bite the dust that day.

Back in the day when Big O's were the greatest crankbait , my buddy and I were fishing out of his 14' Gregor aluminum , the newer baitcasting reels were just getting to market and we both had Garcia 5000D versions , had to throw them really hard to get any distance , he ended up putting both treble hooks deep in my forearm , we had no idea how to get them out and the fishing was good , took a pair of pliers and just ripped out the hooks , blood everywhere , no first aid kit . Kept on fishing and getting them , he had to switch to a spinning rod as the backlash was so bad he had to cut out all the line.

this is what a yellow magic does when it goes through your finger !
made it to the age of 52 without this happening ---crappy part was that there was a fish on the front hook and my finger on the rear
i slapped him between my thighs to keep him still !

i now pay much more attention when lipping a fish on these type baits

Hooked in the lip! It sucked I was by myself and couldn't see it!
Made for interesting and painful hook removal.
Didn't help that both hooks from crankbait were buried.

I set the treble hook on a catfish and it jerked loose and hit me on the face. It embedded two of the the three barbs in my cheek. I was alone and had to drive to the emergency room and get the hook carved out by the doctor.That smarts!

Through my thumb knuckle with fish on.

I would bet for most of you, it's been at the "altar."

uh..NOPE!!! not for me!!

My dad snagged my right cheek and then set the hook before I could grab it. He set a Little George with trebles so deep that we had to make a visit to the emergency room in Cleveland to have it removed at 2 am.

My nephew hooked me right behind the knee in the tendon. normally I would yank it out myself but this one hurt like the devil stabbed me with his pitchfork. ER trip and $400 bucks later it is just a bad story.

ouch! This was bad enough.

Got my buddy in the eyebrow. Told him to just leave it there. Everyone has an eyebrow piercing these days!!

Google worst fishing injuries, and then hit "images."

Wow!
