Belive it or not, the same thing happens up north. I HAVE been hooked several times. The jettys I dive are also heavily fished. I skirt the ocean side for lobster and fish, but the inlet side is by far better fishing. I think I have been targeted! Fortunatly I am always in a full wet suit, and feel a tug. I do carry a knife, and metal shears, so the problem is easily rectified. Even hooked in the hood once, I think the fishermen don't know how dangerous this SPORT of theirs is!
