  1. Dry-Brick-79 on

    My dad did this once when I was a kid. I’ve carried a pliers in my pocket ever since. I’ve never removed a treble hook from a fish by hand and I never will

  2. Was at a bush camp on the railway tracks (ACR in northern Ontario) in 86 so no cellphones. Two dudes came walking down the tracks, one with a rod, the other with a rapala set into his cheek with both sets of hooks buried, missed his eye by half an inch. Their buddy had gone to town for beer and they had no ride to the ER.

    “Why TF is he still attached to the rod” we asked? “oh… ya”. Disconnected him and drove them out to the highway.

  3. Kind of. Many years ago I was a scout leader for the 11 year old scouts in my church. A friend of mine was the other leader working with me. He planned a first aid lesson one night for the activity and tried to simulate a fish hook in the finger using tape. After a couple of attempts it was not working so I grabbed the hook and pushed it through one of the calluses on my hand. Then took out my Leatherman handed it to the scouts and proceeded to instruct them on how to remove it. The kids thought it was awesome and my buddy still loves to tell that story when he introduces me to people

  4. I’ve only been hooked deeply enough one time that warranted a trip to the ER. Fortunately, the lure was also still embedded into the bass I just caught. He didn’t want to travel to the ER with me, so he wiggled and flailed until it tore the barbs from my hand. That was memorable.

  5. I once used some vodka and a utility knife to remove a hook. I use the vodka to sanitize and for courage. Lol

  6. In the future you learn to deal with that yourself.

    take Allways a small rope with ya so you can pull the hook back with the rope (bite on it) and and then pull it out.

  7. I’ve been fishing for over 55 years- fly fishing, lure fishing, sea fishing with bait and lures large and small, dead baiting, you-name-it-I’ve-tried-it (except dynamite) and I’ve never gone beyond the barb. What am I doing wrong???
