The big one that didn’t get away…
Our son Colton, who was six at the time, was fishing off the wharf by his grandparents cabin. He caught a fish and started to reel it in, when it had gotten so far up it decided that it wanted to get back in the water and got off the hook. The hook then in turn flicked back towards Colton and caught him in the nose. Needless to say after a trip to Emergency to remove the hook "the big one didn't get away." Colton's dad was away at work at the time so he wanted to have his picture taken to show him and the hook is hanging on the cabin wall as a reminder. Submitted By: Georgann Collins
