Wife and I went out for a little while this morning before it got too toasty. She's been fishing with me for 11 years with the worst damage being a bruised ego, until today. She was fishing a spook when I heard the familiar Kawoosh!!!! She hooked a dandy and brought it boat side and lifted it in. I was ready with camera and told her to hold it up so I could take a photo. She held it up by the line about a foot above the fish and he freaked out shaking head and implanting a nasty spook hook into the heel of her hand. First, I gently but quickly lipped the 15 plus inch bassand carefully, with difficulty, removed the other hook from the fish. The hook was buried and awkward to deal with because of the dangling spook. Next plan, got out the split-ring pliers and carefully removed the invasive treble hook. Next, took a piece of mono and looped around the hook bend, pushed down on the eye and plopped it out clean, after the third try. She was a trooper and insisted I put the hook back on the Spook and retie and she started fishing again. That's what top water fishing can do to you. Exciting stuff! Didn't stay long...too hot and the crazy people were showing up. The courtesy dock had a different name today at take out and It was like TSA, only not as friendly.

I have seen worse.  Mine stuck in the tendon.  Can't push it thru, can't pull it out.  That scar is on my tongue now, moved over from my wrist.

I had cancer on my tongue back in Nov.  They took out a third of it and used the muscle on my wrist for the replacement.  It was the wrist that I used to block the incoming 3 hook Firetiger Rapala that stuck in my tendon.  The scar was removed and relocated in the surgery.
