I just got reminded yesterday why I wear fishing glasses, they are not just for the sun. I was out in my fishing partners boat hitting Stripers on the West River when he hooked into one. When he thought he was snagged, he gave a pull on his rod just as I looked up. The rod tip slapped me square in the eye, I was thankful that I had my glasses on cause there would of been some sort of eye damage.
It reminded me of the story of photographer Joseph Daniel who was taking pictures of a guide double-hauling a saltwater streamer into the surf. He'd taken off his sunglasses to focus on the wide camera lens when the hook whiplashed off the sand and into Daniels left eye. He had to undergo a few surgeries to repair his vision.
I know you’re probably tired of hearing it but there are many stories like this about hooks and things getting caught in the eye of some poor guy while fishing, so always wear your fish - sunglasses please.
