(notice the hook in his head)

How it feels to be a fish? ...... Climbing back up the breakwater and heading for home the lure was dredging in the rocks.  

Engaged & unnoticed the line grew in tension until it could hold no longer, letting go at sailfish speed, lodging in his head.  2 of the 3 prong hook embedded in his skull.  Seeing I was standing watching, he waved for help.  He passed me a pair of pliers, but this was beyond my abilities - not being a fisherman I have no experience with catch and release.
At the boot of his car he steely assumed the man&fish folklore stance.  Two Polaroids were taken  – one for his car dashboard & one for me.
