Guess it was a barbed hook?

Once had a buddy hook me in the ear lobe (almost went completely thru) while we were wade fishing a local creek. Now the good part, he thought he was hung in a tree and started jerking to get it loose without ever looking to see he was hung in my ear. OUCH

Had to use a knife and cut a couple little slits around where it went in to get it out since that part of skin was so soft and stretchy.

Still have never let him forget about it when we get together to fish.
Yep a nice big barbed crankbait hook. The whole thumb is numb and tingly from nerve and muscle damage.

My son hooked me clean through the earlobe years ago. He too went to jerking without looking. That one didn't hurt too bad though, the earlobe isn't that sensitive. In fact I cut the line and wore the hook the rest of the day fishing and got it out at home in the mirror. It still had a piece of nightcrawler on it.
