When I was a kid my brother's friend hooked me under the chin with a treble hook. I'm yelling and he's pulling, wondering what he was snagged on. That's what happens when you have 3 people in a small row boat trying to cast.

That story is so cool, it has to be true! I'm glad you didn't attempt mouth to beak. I did once, on the family pet dog. He ran about a hundred miles an hour into the sliding glass door. No pulse, no respirations and my little girls were crying "dadd…
