I can remember when I was a youngster, my Mother & Father , Brother, and two Sisters would go fishing all day at a lake that was close by. We would fish all day, and what ever we caught, we took home and cleaned them, and that would be our supper. Well, my Mother always used a cane pole, and you had to watch out for her every time she would throw out. That Woman could really whip that line when she threw it out into the water. Well, once I got a little too close to her as she was whipping that line and She set the hook right through my ear. Needless to say, I took off running up and down the bank screaming like a Banshee with my Mother with her cane pole running back and forth behind me trying to get a hold of me. Ended up my blasted Sister stuck out a foot and tripped me. I hit the ground like a rock, darn near knocked the wind right out of me. And yes, here came dad with his rusty pliers and a pair of cutters. He cut the hook in two, and pulled it out of my ear, with me of course still screaming like a Banshee. Always kept a good eye out for my Mother after that when it came time for her to whip that line into the water.....
