WHen I was a kid I caught a painted turtle. poor bugger swallowed the hook so we had to cut it off. my buddy let it go.
I also watched a friend of mine hook his cousin in the ear with a minnow lure we used for large mouth Bass. it was the first cast of the day after the 1/2 hour canoe trip trough the swamp to the lake. we cut it off and continued fishing for the day. when we got back home his mom took him in to the doc to get it removed.
