It was during the summer of 6th grade to 7th grade. I had woken up really early because I was going to go fishing with my sister and uncle Jason. It was dark out when we had set out, and because it was so early, I fell asleep in the car ride up.
When we got there, it was close to 7 or 8 in the morning. We got our fishing poles out and put the strings on and the hooks. We then grabbed bait and headed down to the lake. Jason quickly taught us how to cast the rod, then went off a little ways to go fish. My sister and I decided to take off our jackets because it was getting nice and warm. I went to go put the jackets down with the other stuff, while I was talking to her.
I had noticed that she was about to cast, so I talked a little louder hoping she would notice that I was behind her, but she didn't. Suddenly I felt a small bite on my arm.
"Ouch." I muttered even though it didn't really hurt. I turned to glance at what had bitten my arm, when I saw the small three prong hook she was using.
My sister quickly came over noticing that her hook was gone. The hook had gone from the inside of my shirt to the outside, and into my arm, and because of this, I couldn't really move my arm. My sister freaked out, apologizing while we went to get Jason. I laughed it off.
We all got back to Jason's truck and I sat in the front. We drove up to the hospital and waited for a couple hours. When we got in, the nurse had to cut a hole in the back of my shirt to get the string out, then cut off the extra two prongs.
The doctor came and numbed my arm. Because the hook had little prong at the end that would keep the fish attached, he couldn't just pull it out. So he cleaned around the hook and then popped the hook by poking it out in a different spot. He had to give me a tetanus shot.
My sister stayed with me the entire time because she felt so bad. And when the doctor was done, we went fishing some more, and when we got home, we ate fish for dinner.
