So I went on a camping trip last weekend to a fishing lake in North Central Texas. Of course I did a bit of fishing but my buddy that had been there before said there was a tree down river with a rope swing and steps screwed on up to the top of the tree. I jumped out of the top of the giant tree a few times and was feeling pretty macho. I thought "why don't we swim back to our campsite". About halfway back, the girls gave up and swam to shore. About the time I got done calling them "poons" for giving up, I took a shortcut through some shallow water in a cat-tail peninsula type thing and felt a sharp pain the the heel of my left foot. Low and behold I have a fishing lure hanging out of my foot... My buddy tried to pull it out while we were in the water but it was sunk in past the barb so I had to swim to shore with this thing flapping around in the water. I got my friend's pocket knife and tried for an hour to cut it out enough to where I could yank it out but to no avial, I had to push it through. I ended up getting a bad infection and had to go to the hospital. Enjoy the pictures.
