About 35 yrs ago, brother and I fishing off a dock of a small lake close by the house. I was behind him, sort of. We were fishing for bass using Rat-L-Traps. He turned to cast a different direction about the time I bent over for some reason. Hung me in my cheek and eyebrow! Two of the six hooks went in far enough and the barb poked out past the skin. Two more wore embedded deep. Cut the line and walked back to the house just a rattlin!! Dad cut the barb off the two and pushed those out. The other two were hanging on pretty good. Off to the doc we went! Could of been much worse for sure.....
A buddy hooked me in the back of the head with a rattletrap one day. Got me pretty good with one hook. All we had was a pair of old rusty pliers and lots of bud light. Pulled it out myself. It bled quite a bit since I ended up ripping it out. Kept on fishing.

yeah as bad as that sounds i think you were lucky it didnt find an eyeball or inside the mouth!!
I once had two points of the front treble on a skitterwalk deep in my hand with a very angry 20 inch speck still attached to the back treble. Fun times.
