the REAL flying lure!

A post that Powerbass made me think about all the times I've been hit with something fishing...so what all have you guys gotten pegged with like a dufus?

I caught a 3/8oz spinnerbait right on the ankle last year...left a big red welt and a knot for a few days. The impact was so shocking that I almost fell in the water, lol. I also snagged a crankbait in an overhanging limb and upon jerking it off, it shot back and hit me in the calf..no damage, luckily.

Back in the day when bobber fishing, I've gotten excited over a bluegill nibbling my bait that I've jerked so hard the bobber has hit me. Fortunately no bullet or carolina weights have come flyin at me yet..but I think I'll remember that spinnerbait forever.
