RedactedNarrative: Operator states he was traveling westbound approximately 1000 feet from shore at approximately 50 mph looking at the homes along the shoreline.  Visibility was good and the sun was not in the operators face.  Operator stated that he saw something out of his peripheral vision coming at a high rate of speed and ducked.  He latter learned that this was a wire from a permitted and marked pound net.  The wire struck the hull of the vessel and then brushed the top of his head.  His female passenger got struck in the face and immediately started bleeding.
