Any good ways to get it out of the eye easier or would barbless be the best way to go. Sorry for the terrible picture

You can carry bolt cutters and cut the hook in half below the barb (if its sticking out far enough to see it), then back out the remaining part of the hook. Barbless is the best thing you could do though

You need to release the barb, so pushing forward to release as you roll the hook back. If you’re struggling to get it out then put the fish back in the net and let it rest in the water. Barbless is a lot less bother and with well stocked lakes you shouldn’t lose many to hook pulls anyway (and you’ll learn where to keep the pressure in the rod to reduce them)
