Im sure there is a sexual term to descibe this?
Innocence, sun (yes, sun in the UK) and the Fat Willies surf shack made our yearly holidays to Brixham perfect for a 13 year old boy and his family. To add to this my dad, brother and I were keen fishermen, chasing mackerel out of the blue onto the grill pan to be cooked that evening my mother.
Occasionally we would be joined by another family who lived near us in Wales. The fun was double, but so was the likliehood of injury as we perched on the rock ledges fishing.
After teaching the younger of the brothers to cast a float into the sea we all stood back and watched in anticipation as he went for his first cast, and a fish per chance???
Sadly the little tike was about as dextrous as a Stephen Hawking and the smooth action of casting a line was replaced with a sudden body twist, jerked arms and an attempt at launching the whole kit into space. The trajectory path was set and as the float and weight passed rapidly beside his brothers head, the hook had other ideas and imbedded itself firmly in the cheek.
Thinking something was wrong (which it most definately was) he decidided to yank it around a bit to free the bugger, although he had not turned around to see his brother silent white with fear.
After cutting the line my "Salty Dog" father came over and gave him the good news... We can get it out but it will have to go right through as the barb on the hook will not let it out.
He fainted... we got it out

Never thought I would see two brothers fish-hooking!
