I was warned with this myth when I started fishing as a kid at Beeston on the Trent. (about 1970)

Perch were the first fish I caught when a kid and just started fishing. If someone had told me you could loose a finger to one, I may never have took up fishing (that was 55 years ago and I'm still fishing). Great vid Jack, keep up the good work.

As a Bass Fisherman I've had far too many stabbings from proper dorsal fin spikes and still have all the digits, so far!

Very old myth, but as you said remotely possible. A cousin and I did make ourselves rather ill not cooking one properly.
