but they finally succeeded. I had my third smallie (nice fish around 4 pounds) almost in the net when he made one final lunge. He took out a little drag and jumped out of the water shaking his mouth. The Blue Fox minnow spin came loose and sling shotted right at me. Two hooks from the front treble planted firmly right in my cheek. The back treble almost got me above the eyebrow but it came out. When I walked into the emergency room at 6:00 am this morning all of the nurses on duty busted out laughing. My wife even laughed when I got home with a numb face. For some reason I just didn't find it funny.
