Here is an article I came across that I thought would be good to share. I remember seeing something happen similar "Not quite as Bad" once when fishing the Maumee River many years ago

What a lucky guy. We have all had accidents but nothing compared to that. It just wasn't his time to go. He lived to fish another day.

Remarkable story Kent.To have that bottom bouncer pierce the heart.I am always reminding guys to be careful around the cranks.Wear glasses and lift fish with the line not the rod,so a crank doesn't shoot at you and impale in your face or arm.

I agree that cranks scare me with my kids in the boat. Accidents happen so fast.
