RedactedNarrative: Victim #1 stated to me while under medical care at the hospital: (noted slight language barrier upon interview) "I love fishing. I don't like to do the bait. There was fishing poles everywhere and the water moved the boat. He moved the fishing poles. The hook got me in the leg."
  
  Owner #1 stated (Victim #1's husband): "She blacked out and puked on the boat. We were drifting for fluke. Me and my wife got into an argument. We decided to leave at that point. I picked up the pole to put it in the rod holder. I was putting the poles in the holder. I feel like an idiot because I hooked her. I immediately called the Coast Guard on VHF 16."
  
  Additional Person on Board stated: "I was operator’s neighbor as a kid. We were drifting for fluke, I was in the back. They were arguing about something on the phones. The hook injuring the woman had nothing to do with the argument. When I was driving to the hospital in the ambulance, I mentioned that they were arguing on the boat. I guess the ambulance driver misconstrued what I said. There was no physical violence on the boat. The hook incident was accidental. He was just baiting the hook, I think."
  
  EMT Ambulance Driver stated: "I was driving the ambulance. The friend on the boat stated that the married couple had been arguing about the cell phone. She was unconscious due to the shock of the fish hook in her. I just wanted to report it to be on the safe side. I don't think it was domestic violence at this point, and there were no other injuries other than the fish hook."
  
  Investigation Revealed: The three subjects on the vessel were in the location of Buoy #1 near Sandy Hook Channel, drifting and fishing. The owner of the vessel was cleaning fishing poles off the deck of the vessel upon which time wave action caused the fish hook to swing and become impaled into the victim's left lower leg. The fish hook was found to be a "Doormat Rig", which is a larger than normal fluke hook. Upon seeing the fish hook impaled in her leg, the victim vomited and passed out. The vessel owner reported the incident promptly to the U.S. Coast Guard via VHF channel 16. The Coast Guard met the victim on the water and escorted her to the ambulance at their Sandy Hook Coast Guard Station. Sandy Hook Fire Rescue Rig #7456 then brought the victim to Monmouth Medical Center, where she was treated with a tetanus shot and I.V. antibiotics. The vessel was brought by the owner to Black Foot Marina in Atlantic Highlands, where it was removed from the water.
