Jaime Chicas, 21, was fishing off a jetty at the west end of Jones Beach
on Friday when his 3-ounce lead sinker came out of the water and hit him
in the face and then lodged in his brain.

Damn, that must of been one hell of a hook set. *I wouldn't have thought
a sinker could have that kind of force. *Knock you out, sure, but to
enter your brain?

Probably the hook/sinker got jammed in the rocks and he was horsing it
out with his Ugly Stik. *What a shame. *I'm going to remember this
one.

Not just rocks.. could have been really pulling it up through the surf
with a big pole. Once it frees itself from the water it can really
fly. A lot of these surfcasters here use huge weights to keep the tide
from moving the bait..
