Haskell from the Orvis store in Dallas shared this with the folks on Texas Fly Report. Makes one more prone to wear something over the eyes while fishing.

good god, man, I was eating lunch when I opened that link!!
very nasty.
never want to go through that, have and will always wear eye protection.
------------------
I am fortunate that did not happen to me. Had a heavy splitshot and fly spang off my prescription glasses this spring, then spin around and hit my cheekbone. It gave me a great shiner, and a sty in the corner of my eye that still lingers 2 months later! Had I not worn glasses, I'd be able to awe my nieces and nephews with my removable glass eye.
Oiks! Glad that you are still binocular!

I would like to observe (no pun intended) that this is another good reason to use barbless hooks.
Bob, you make a good point there.

And don't forget a hat. I beaned myself yesterday with a 3/0 clouser and was greatful for the hat. My fishing buddy heard the noise of the hit over the sound of the motor.

Ouch!!!
I hooked my eyelid one time. Ever since then I always wear glasses.

I am reminded of the old tale of the hanger-on in a blacksmith's shop who picked up a hot horseshoe and immediately flung it across the shop. "Hot ain't it?" grinned the blacksmith. "No" replied the offender, "it just doesn't take me very long to check out a horseshoe".

Hey Jed, Did your buddy laugh before or after he asked if you were ok, (or both)? In my surfcasting learning years, I turned away from a group discussion on the beach in the pitch dark and swung a 3oz bank sinker around 'bolo-style'until it was stopped by my best friends thick skull. It sounded like a broken bat pitch at Fenway Park. I hadn't realized the rig came loose from my outfit until my buddy started cursing me like the truck driver he was. I felt awful, but still almost peed myself laughing. In fact I felt as bad about not keeping a straight face as I did about the lump on his noggin...
P.S. I made my son watch the link too...a picture is worth a thousand words. Hope the subject recovered. I didn't go too far on that link- too disturbing.
