Poll: Have you ever hooked yourself?

Question

I first learned to fly fish over 10 years ago, and have been fishing for over 20 years, but I've never seriously hooked myself (past the barb) until saturday.  I tried to cast my fly rod into some strong wind, and a large gust came through right when I started my back cast, I felt a thud on my arm, looked down and saw I was hooked.  I had just caught a 18" rainbow a couple casts earlier, which is why I didn't quit when the wind picked up. Luckily, there was some guys there who were experienced fly fisherman and used to guide, so they knew how to get the hook out.  Unfortunately, though, the fly I had just caught the rainbow on was destroyed.

Never seriously hooked myself... However, I have had other people hook me twice...seriously....and it was not fun...one in my back when I was a kid, and the idiot pulled the Abu Spinner, until it tore out...and the other in my arm, and he pushed it thru until the barb came out, then clipped it off with wire cutters, then it easily slid out.... To this day I now always carry a pair of wire cutters whenever I'm fishing.

i do it the time, the worst one was one time when i was walking with the rod in one hand and the rig in the other, i tripped on the line and the hook went straight into the side of my hand, a size 7 hook barbed.
