I practiced casting with a pillow tied onto my jigstick, and and slowly worked my way up to marshmallows after reading this story.


NY - Man struck and killed by lead fishing weight

The Associated Press . July 30, 2008
A man fishing off Long Island is dead after a 3-ounce lead fishing weight attached to his pole struck him in the face and dug into his brain.
Relatives and a physician say Roosevelt resident Jaime Chicas died Tuesday from severe head trauma and herniation.
A neurologist at Nassau University Medical Center says the lead weight from Chicas' fishing pole hit with "so much force that it kept going" and lodged in the back of his head.
Relatives say the 21-year-old was fishing with his brother-in-law and cousin at the west end of Jones Beach Friday when the accident happened.
Lead sinkers are commonly used by fishermen to sink lures more rapidly.
