My hook story. 30 years ago, 3 of us fishing from my uncles pier for
catfish. One kid had a treble hook, triple barbed, large one. He slung back
to cast as I was turning around to say something. Hook in mouth, one hook
through my tongue (the easy one to get out), one through the cheek and one
in the roof of my mouth.

I won't even bother with my story after that. Eeesh. Unpleasant.

But it's a good reason to mash down barbs.
