You guys are awesome. Just used this trick to save our 8 year old boy a lot of suffering. From the bottom of our family's heart thanks for posting this trick.
already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). ru-vid.comUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp. Additionally, the gap is wide enough to actually hook a fish (not always the case with circle hooks). I purchased the 8/0, but probably should have got the 9/0 (they seem slightly smaller than other 8/0 hooks). Additionally, having the point in-line helps if you drift fish. I have yet to get a serious snag with one of these hooks.
Was up near Lake George and a fellow got one hook of a treble stuck in his finger. I had just told my buddies about this episode of your show, so it was up to me to give it a shot. My one friend removed the treble from the crankbait, using a multi-tool to cut the split ring, and not the eye. I then made two lines up with loops. Another fisherman distracted the victim and "POP"!! out it came. He didn't even realize it was out! He was back fishing. Thanks again. Great show..
I could have gotten it out a lot faster, but I was trying to get him to look away. I finally just went ahead and jerked it out. Besides, he wasn't really going anywhere..... :) He did do a great job and this little accident turned into a great opportunity to demonstrate the hook removal technique.
Basically, in this situation (which I've been in multiple times) I would push the hook point through, including the barb, and then cut the hook at the base of the treble and slide it out. Less painful and damaging. I went back to fishing both times.
I've had a hook in my skull (behind my ear) and in the finger joint of my thumb. Both were removed by my Dad using this technique. I never felt pain during either.
I just used your vid to remove two of the three hooks on a treble from my leg. Thanks for the info. This allowed me to continue my day after hooking myself on the second cast of the trip and an 9 inch bass.
I have been fishing for ten years and have yet to hook myself badly... Now that I am married and my wife comes with me... I have seen more close encounters hahaha.... Will keep this video in my back pocket and I am dreading the day one of us gets hooked! Thanks for the info!
+Gianca C Great idea. I haven't hooked myself (except on purpose) but I have had other people hook me and hook themselves that I have had to remove. Definitely something that fishermen should know and be able to execute.
Just wait till you have kids! My son plopped a fish in my lap, promptly hooked me in the thigh. My method was turn it through with pliars, real fast before i realized that it hurt, cut the barb then pull it out. I like this guy's technique better, only 1 hole and he saved the hook! Difficult to do yourself though.
Watching this year 2023, it really helped me to help my cat with a fish hook buried in his paws. I also spent hours pulling the fish hook and it only hurts him more and it only got more and more locked too, so I started searching and your demo did not disappoint me. More power to your chanel thank you ..
Oh my gosh that made me feel weak! I was actually looking for a video on how to remove treble hooks from fish because I've never used lures and want to try.
We just finished another shoot for Kayak Bassin and I received several requests for a closer look at this technique. So, I used a treble and more visible line to demonstrate the technique on myself. We should have it up pretty soon. It was a lot more difficult that I expected to hook yourself and really get the hook buried. - Chad
This is EXACTLY why I replaced ALL the trebles with circle hooks....... It also makes the lures almost weedless, and you get to release healthier fish too! But thank you much for sharing because I do still fish with folks that won't make the switch.
Was confident the whole time. Pulled out hundreds, it’s just tougher to video it while having yourself in one kayak, the other Angler in another kayak and then the camera guy in another kayak. Confidence was no problem, coordination, that was another story. Lol
This was one of the best VLOGS I ever seen.. Again thank you very much.. Very Very good on how to pull a treble hook out of the hand Just awesome for sure.
Watched this vid A year or two ago and always kept the knowledge in my head and never thought it would happen to me but the other day has to use it to get a treble out of my thigh
Mono has lots of stretch and doubling it up does help with that. But if you have braid that's the best way to go because it has 0 stretch and all you have to worry about is the line breaking which is un likely.
I've only had one treble hook caught in my hand on the back near the base of my thumb (so far). I got a nearby grandfather and his grandson (young fellow), to help me get the fish off the hook. I took my angle cuts and cut the top of the hook from the lure. As I proceeded to grab the hook with my needle nose pliers and curl the hook point out from inside the skin, I looked over at the mans grandson, he was white as a sheet, thought he would faint. I snipped off the barb and pulled it out... ; >)
GoopgaGaming not with the short shank on a treble hook, then you have two wounds and potential places for infection and cutting a hook is a lot harder than it sounds and most people don't have anything with them to cut it even if they could. This tutorial is designed to show the option that is easiest to accomplish with what you have available.
KayakBassinTV I got hooked by a worm hook one time, I pushed it through clipped the barb off and pulled it right out, And then sterilized the wound, I was just stating that there is another way about doing this.
Chad Hoover I had a treble get stuck in between my pinky and ring finger on my right hand. My wife was in the other kayak. I had her come over and cut the line to my rod. I ended up having to force it through my skin and clip it lol wife was no help haha. I carry a heavy set of wire snippers just for this situation. I tried your way and that sucker was NOT gonna come out. The barb was grabbing too much meat.
OK, so... my Dad always taught us (assuming it's a barbed hook) to push the hook through, snap off the barb and point, then back it out. Does this make sense? Sound right to me, but I've never had to do it. Thanks.
I have a small kit that I usually carry to make doing this easy. For this video, I didn't have it with me and it was nice to show how to improvise. I am filming in Florida this week, so I will shoot a second part of this video where I hook myself and demonstrate how to remove the hook with close ups on the set up. I will also show how to make a easy kit to carry in your gear bag.
One more reason that I've done my best to eliminate all treble hooks from the kayak. Does that mean I'll never get hooked? Nope, but it reduces the odds. Do I miss some fish because I'm only using single hooks? Probably, but I still have a blast. Great video and a worthwhile technique to know!!
I went to a doctor's office to get a hook out. He said you don't wanna do it this way because the barb can catch things and rip muscle or tendons on the way out. He said to push the hook through and pop it through the skin then cut the barb then the remaining part of the hook will just slide out without any issue.
Got the same floating rapalla stuck in my head 2x and once in my nose after that 3x's hookin myself dad refused to fish in the boat with me when i fished with it the shits of it is ..best dam lure i ever used skunked him every time lmao
Não entendo muito, menos sei ingles(muito menos portugues) mas o cara é tão bom e gesticula tanto que entendi como tirar a garateia sem dor(além da que existe). Um aprendizado importante já posso precisar um dia.
This happened to me in the middle of nowhere and after a few minutes of sitting there with a hook in my hand, I resolved that I had to push it all the way through my finger and cut the barb off. It took some balls to do it, but it worked. Healed in a few days.
I just had this happen to me yesterday on the Caney Fork. I wish I would have known this trick before! I had to push the treble hook back out of my hand so my buddy could cut the bard off with my rusty needle nose. I never want to do that again!
Yeah that was a nice way to pull that hook out thats for sure.... i remember when i was fishing for salt water trout in Australia... we had hooks the size of your index finger when you bend it into a hook shape to use to catch the trout or sweetlip & we had a section of a cars drive shaft as a weight...well i went to drop the loaded rig...so it had multiple hooks on it...but the line spooled off two turns & i didnt see it happen & when i dropped it down the back of the boat it dropped further than it would have normally...end result was that big hook hooking into my finger & i caught the weight to stop it from pulling down further & the skipper saw what happened & as i pulled that weight back onto the boat he cut the line & said... " here drink this" so i took a good swig of this spirit that was close to 100% proof but it calmed me & i looked over to the other guy who was sharpening a knife....he got it nice & sharp as the skipper cut the end of the hook where you tie the line to & by that time to skipper gave me the bottle & said " drink how much you want to". Then the other guy poured the spirit over the knife blade & some on my finger & then cut my finger in a X pattern & took the rest of the hook out. I cant remember what that spirit was but i hardly felt a thing & my finger was bandaged & the skipper asked me if i needed to go home & i said NAHH m8 ... so we continued to fish after i had a rest...end of story.... The moral of the story is...." Keep your eye on the spool.... or you'll end up lookin like a fool :)
This happened to me while pike fishing, I had a large treble hook embedded in my thumb plus it was still attached to a large pike which wouldn't stay still, it was a painful experience I won't forget, my friend managed to get hook off the lure so we could unhook the pike, I took the hook out by turning it and popping the barb back out my skin in a different place then cut off the barb... Ouch
You are making this way more difficult than need be. Just put your thumb on the eye and hold it down to the skin. Put a line looped around the bend of the hook and Yank with the other hand with the pull directly down the shank of the hook. It will come out without any effort at all and zero pain every time. I have removed hundreds of hooks this way in my walk-in clinic. Main difference is put your thumb on the eye, then the only way the hook can go keeps the barb from catching any skin.
Stephen Smith, M.D. I have done this before it works well and a lot faster.. You can even do it by yourself tie a line to the hook then to a seat post , steering wheel or any solid tie down on the boat. Push the eye of the hook down with your free hand and yank.
Another option. Rather than the line holding the shank down, and the bother of setting that up, just put a finger on the hook shank and press it down onto the victim’s skin, and jerk the business end of your rescue line. A little bit simpler. Good info video though. This trick works.
Good video. The angle it is embedded might make a difference in technique used. Only one I've had experience with we pushed it on through after cutting the eye off.
Not sure if anyone has said it yet but wouldn't braid be better? Haha what's one more time asking? Great vid, thanks for sharing and how to make do with what you have on hand.
that looked so easy. i hooked my hand once and i was scared it would do something bad when i pulled it out so i slit my hand with a razor and then pulled it out of the cut. I wish i knew this before
Just had a treble hook snag my left hip. had to push both hooks though and pinch the bard to get out. I tried tugging on it. Didn't work. Maybe I was too wussy to yank it out. But it was on an area FAR more sensitive than my hand.
When I was about 17 I got a treble hooked on the tip of my finger which was attached to another treble deep inside a pike. Managed to dehook the pike with one hand and put it back in the water by myself. Later in accident and emergency the nurse said she was going to cut the hook to make it easier to remove but in the end just yanked it out. Pretty sure she did it deliberately.
