I got a finger fillet scar from preparing a fish for the smoker when it slid while I was cutting it. A good lesson on why you should wear a cutting glove on your non knife hand.

I have a friend who took a piece of pencil lead dead smack between the eyes at eyebrow level. Knocked him on his ass...hehe He was lucky to just have blood running down his nose.
Guy I worked with lost his eye to a circle hook on a long liner up in Alaska.

When ever I catch a tree on the other side of the river I always turn away when breaking off to save my eyes. Been hit with lots of swivels and lead that hurt like hell for a the duration of the ouchieee dance.
