Ok here is my first anecdote!!
My sons were fishing with a couple of boys when the boys were all give or take around 10 to 12. My youngest son walked behind one of the boys as he went to swing the rod back behind him to cast the line out into the water.
As luck would have it DS had walked into the danger zone and the boy's treble hook landed in the exact center of DS's left cheek of his rear!
It was in just under the skin but being a treble hook I couldn't just push it out the other side of the skin. so I had to put him in the van and take him to the doctor to have it removed! All the way there he kept asking me if the doctor would put him under to take out the hook!!! I assured him that would not be necessary! Not what he wanted to hear!!!
But with a small amount of local anesthesia in the area-- the doc cut the hook off and worked the rest of it out! DS was very relieved!!
Of course the family never let him forget that fishing adventure!!
