Judge White loved to fish and one weekend rented a boat to take his three sons Abe, Jack Jr, and Sid out for a fishing excursion. His eldest son Abe had just purchased a special three hook lure, and Abe was eager to have his father try it out.

The father and sons got all their gear aboard and motored out to their fishing spot. Judge White attached the new lure and brought his rod back for a big cast. To everyone's horror the lure found an unintentional target. Abe's face! Poor Abe was securely hooked through his nose, cheek, and eyebrow by his own father. You can imagine the commotion that followed. The whole crew then had to drive the boat back to the dock, disembark, get in the car and go to the hospital.

Once there, Abe insisted that the doctor remove the hooks intact rather than cutting them. Abe explained, "Well, I didn't want to ruin my new lure."  Once the extraction was complete, the nurse was drawing up the bill when a hospital administrator walked past and asked, "Why are you giving Judge White charity rates?" The nurse replied, "That's Judge White? I thought he was just some fisherman!"
