A freak accident saw an angler's lead weight fly through his eye socket and become embedded inside his cheek.

The guy just could not wait to get the weight out of his eye.

Had a buddy several years ago who set the hook on a fish with a texas rig and his bullet weight slammed him right in the eye. He lost his sight for about 6 weeks and his eye socket area was balck and blue for months.

I'm with Chris-Yeeeeeoooowwww!!
