How to Get Fish Hook out of myself 

hahaha Grin and Bear It..... grew up being told that by my father and glad he did! Now my kids get to hear me say it

I’m 43 and have been fishing for as long as I can remember and I have been lucky enough to have never been hooked past the barb but I have been very close. Nice catch though Joe.

Ouch! Hope to see you at the NorthCenter Show in NH on the 24th

I've been in a situation before where a fish shake put a barb through a thumb, obviously it depends on the location of the hook, but I had decent luck taking a knife and making a slit over the shank of the hook and lifting it out, assuming there isnt too much deep meat over the shank, it bled, but that wound was patched up with the boat first aid kit and some antispetic, obviously clean better once back to camp or home but it can save a trip to the ER. This from a guy that used to work in an ER. Im always prepared for a little backcountry "surgery" if need be. At least the hook was parallel to the skin surface, if she is just plunged down in its tough no matter what ya try.

Iv managed to get a couple crankbaits in me from smallies but never thought I'd have to worry about neds 😂. Never a fun time

I did that last year when we were camping up to Aziscohos it was in deep ended up going to the ER In Farmington to get it out !

Necessary information, but still... Ouch. Definitely something an angler should have figured out when fishing alone. One case where we don't want "practice makes perfect" haha

Hey Bud, well hooked and nice catch, that must have been at least a 250 pounder?! 😅

Haha !!! Man U are tough 😮

When we gonna get donnie in the boat with ya?

For the very few fish that are lost, that’s why I go barbless

If it was a Zman hook I'm surprised it didn't just straighten out. 😅

Ouch! Never good when you hook yourself!!

Ooo noooo

I pushed it up through the skin again and cut the barb off. I honestly wouldn’t suggest my method lol
