Almost Cold-Cocked by 12 oz Sinker

I was reeling in a Striper bass this morning... estimated 27 lbs....
It was shaking it's head profusely... or maybe it was just foul-hooked
As I got it to within a few feet from the boat so that the net-man
could get it, the Striper threw off the hook
My rod being bent almost double... the line with 12 oz sinker attached
flew up into the air and was whipped into the top of my head...
I bled profusely for a while... no permanent damage...
I've seen sinkers whiz by me before... this was my first hit....
