Default Now that was a bit wierd!!

Landed a rainbow this evening on a wee epoxy buzzer; the hook had somehow managed to go straight through the upper lip bone area, straight up past the knot on the dropper and the fish was landed with the tension on the knot. The physics of the whole scenario just do not make sense to me

Last season I caught a brownie on the dry, and when I brought it to the net, the fly had passed through the eyeball from the inside.
I thought I was going to have to kill it, as I couldn't think of a way of removing it without hurting it, there was no blood at all.
A moment later it slipped from my hand, and when I brought it back again, the fly had come back through, and was firmly in the upper lip.
Not a drop of blood, popped the fish back, no damage at all.
