I heard that the eye ball docs in Soldotna, Alaska are some of the best docs in the world for removing hooks from eye because of the combat fishing on the Russian. Whether that is true or not that post is a good example of being careful of what the heck you are doing.

Is it actually possible to remove that hook without lossing the eye or sight? :dunno:I would imagine it depends on the amount of trauma the eye experienced at the moment of impact from the "gear". Corneas can heal and there are cornea transplants available. If the hook went in deep, say you're using a #2 long shank with some weight on the line you might traumatize the eye ball to the point of no return, but you you were to get whacked with a small fly, bead-head nymph like is in video I'd say you may experience 100% recovery.

I pulled, and like an idiot didn't turn my head. :bdid: The whole rig came flying at me lead first and dangling behind it was the hook. As the weight flew past me I turned just like Neo in the Matrix and WHHAAAM!
Right in the chin the hook burried itself into the bone. It actually broke the fishing line which was only 10lbs test but still, man I was stunned. I called for my buddy to come over and see it. I really wasn't sure what happend at first but when he walked over and saw the hook and about 15 inches of leader sticking out of my face he started dry heaving. We picked up our gear and headed home.
My mom broke into histerics and ran and grabbed the camera and started taking pictures. (wish I had them) She took me down to the local quack to have it removed. We got into the office and the receptionist and the doctor both cracked up. A little shot to the chin with some feel good and they took it out with a pair of pliers.
Wow that one sucked but lesson learned.

As far as weights and hooks hitting people we saw a guy down on the Kenai River with a huge goose egg sticking out of his forehead. Same MO as the previous statement. He had hooked into a couple of big fish and lost them so when he felt the tug on the next fish he gave a real heave ho and was greeted with a pile of lead in the head. I guess it knocked him silly for a bit.
His buddies were giving him a hard time cause he also ringed his eye with his scope during moose season
