Absolutely operator error. After a day of steelhead fishing on the coast, we were cleaning out the boat. Without paying attention, I slid my hand down the rod to pick it up out of the boat, plunging my finger into the hook of the hotshot plug. I kinda got pinned to the rod at the hook keeper for a minute.
Justin:
Ouch.

once that happens, you're "fishin' buddies" previously you were "guys that fish together"
