I HOOKED MYSELF! - How To Remove A Hook In Your Hand (Safest Way) 

I like how this dude just gets hooked in the hand then just calmly gives us a how to get it out like he was completely fine😂

I crush my barbs when fishing from a kayak after hearing another kayak fisherman's story of hooking himself in the back and getting hooked to his kayak seat.

When pushing the hook through, get some resistance on the other side. I have seen an apple used before to good effect, as you are pushing it against something semi solid, so your skin doesnt stretch as much = more pain...

Great video, I can relate! Got one treble in the side of my finger once as my kayak accidentally slid down a hill and I tried to catch it! Turns out a lot of nerves in there lol. You did a lot better than I did, way to stay calm and collected and cheers for even smiling about it!

Handled that like a champ Johnny. Such a good idea keeping those cutters in the box. Heard it pop back through haha. You did so well to take good care of that grunter too.

Really good advice mate and as always, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻👍🏼

Much respect mate, definitely a what not to do situation all while showing a what to do if you were in this situation 👍🏾 good stuff

thank you for your composure and sharing this, legend

Good job mate, never a great feeling, even worse when ya young fella gets stung with a couple of trebles. lipgrips and plyers, I have learnt the hard way myself. Love ya work John!

0:34 that moment your brain catches up with the fact you have caught a fish and yourself. Last time I did that was on a thumper whiting and 95 Splash prawn with 2 of 3 hooks in the heel of my palm. Punching the hook through was excruciating. Loving the videos John. My young blokes get up each morning to check if you have uploaded a new one.

Been there, done that. Haha. It absolutely sucks during the process but all you can do is smile after it's out. All part of the memories mate. Well done!

Handled it like a champ mate, very nice

Cool calm and collected well done mate

It doesn’t matter how carful you are if your on the water enough this stuff happens. Good outcome mate 👌🏻Good hooks those 😉

Johnny Johnny, will just leave it a that mate. so pleased u had a set of bolt cutters. for me in the boat a permanent set of ratchet side cutters and for land base i carry a set. everyone who has lure fished has had this happen. hope all is well.

Great video champion, what do you do if it can't be pushed through , i had a single hook go into my hand below the finger after a eel got wrapped in the wire trace and wrapped up my hand after removing the hook and i got caught by the hook as it twisted, and had to get it surgically removed, luckily my friend put his foot on its head stopping it from tearing the skin, i have seen the removing method using braid to yank the hook out but had no luck as it was in the tendon, love how cool and relaxed you kept, i was freaking out , bought back bad memories , but great video,

thats my worst nightmare ever,its good to see you have taken care of that well john

Well done 🤙

Buggar! That hurts. Good to have done cutters nearby. Great work. 😃👍🐟🐟

Mate, I've been hooked and it's surprising how tough your skin actually is! Trying to push the hook through your skin, I was not as quick as you and had to use plires to push down the skin on the other side of the hook to get the hook all the way through. But I did it the same way you did. Hats off to you, doing it so fast!

I've been self hooked twice, the first time was one the water in my Yak, it was winter here in vic so it was freezing and i just pulled the 5/0 out with very little pain, but the next was one of my offshore lures still connected to the rod and when I picked it up it slipped and the big treble went into my finger, just like you I now carry 2 types of cutters in my car boot just for hook removal, I found removing the hook from the lure can make it far easier to remove the hook in ones self, I just remembered another, this was a subiki they are so hard to pull out you just have to push them through.

Damn John! I’ve had to do the same. For some reason they seem to go in so easy and are much harder to push through. I hope it’s ok and didn’t get to infected.

Your much more stoic than me. I did the same after hooking the wiggliest Bluebone some year's ago with no pliers or tools. 40c heat and about a K from my fishing mate on the beach. Never forget that one.

Exact same thing happend with a family member.Made a good trip to the E.R.Be carful out their.

Hey John it's not if.. it's when.. it happens to all us.. it's like victory at sea..be prepared and you won't have to go to plan C..love your vids and humour son.. keep it up

Lol,now that's a fisho,one that doesn't let a hook get in the way of his session.Awesome!

That hurt to watch John... A trick I was shown & have used a few times with great success is to loop some heavy mono around the bend of the hook & either have someone hold the line or tie it off as it has to be taut. The next step is to tap down hard on the taut line with a heavy screwdriver or similar & the hook just pops out barb & all, the same way it went in. It’s like magic how well this works & with minimal pain or damage.

I've always managed to push down on the barb and pull the hook back out from where it came. Hurts like a hell but the pop as it comes out is the most amazing endorphin rush of all time 🤣

Good job fellow angler 🎣💪🙏

Had to do this in my face the other day LoL 😂 lucky I remembered this video, pulled it through n sniped the barb off. 👍🏻

You took that like a champ, better man than me

Been there Johnny. It’s never any fun. You did great.

What's the lure Johnny? Looks great, kinda a timber squirrel.

🎣 I had one large hook of a trebble deep in the heel of my hand, towards the palm, i had to pull it out, which tore out! I squeezed the blood out to avoid potential infection! ... Still seems unreal to me, ... 🎣

I've always carried something to cut hooks. When I was a kid I was tying a knot and it slipped end got myself in the lip. Lucky we had side cutters to cut the eye off a bait holder hook and push it through.

Dead set held my breath all through that , bloody painful when they're in . 😬

I HAVE A PAIR in both my bream and bass bag John, last year had to show the team at Redcliffe Hospt, how to remove a hook and they were great full. No fun buddy. Cheers Chris

Yes, hard core!!!! Fish on

i feel your pain ive been hooked lol

Us lads have all done it mate! Stood on a treble after a decent dogtooth tuna spat it! Now I run singles only 😂, nabbed by a fish that isn’t quite finished in the finger or hand! Feel that pain! Its like standing on your kids lego in the dark! You did well brother! “I want Jack” best call! So good to see your travels mate! Good and bad! Keep em coming!! 🤙🏻

Oooh u did well there,

Funny thing is I used that same one got hooked in Perth Australia I was on a trip with my dad and I tugged to get the fish out it hooked my finger half way thru

Respect sir.

Ouch..... been there done that a couple of times. Looks like a small price to pay for such an epic adventure.

I couldn't imagine having to do that to myself Johnny but when there's no other option... you got to do, what you got to do. So glad that Grunter didn't go nuts when you let go of it to hit the spot lock, makes that saying you have seem not so funny in this instance, "Jack fishing it hurts so good".

Well done. Got a treble in my hand out at the Perth fads about 7 years ago, right in the middle of my palm, underneath but not penetrating the tendon / ligament of my ring finger. 6 hours and a local later, and she was ripped out and medicated at my doctors suggestion of a solid intake of piss and cones for the next 12 hrs, then sorted. Lots of swell and the boat slamming around for a good hour and a half on the way home and I was well over it.

I feel your pain the only time i have been hooked by a treble i got one point stuck in my thumb one in my index finger and one in my middle finger when a carp decided to take my bass lure fishing for Australian bass it wasn't fun at all

Happened to me when in Finland. Left my pliers back home, Australia, woops! Hospitals are good there....

Been there I had to push mine thru thumb was on my own too then try cutting the treble off when it in your right hand and your right handed less strength

mine was in my pinky and i couldnt deal with that pain it your crazy man that shit hurts so bad

You can use a piece of braided line and hold it at a certain angle and the hook will pull right out. I've seen it done with a massive treble hook and couldn't believe it. Tacticalbassin have a video on it

Bloody hell !!! you did that without swearing ! (or was that eddited out?),,my nuts were tingaling watching that.

He does that every fish!

Dude that guy is well….. unless he was purposely trying to hook himsef. He just griped that crankbait

Ouch! 🤕

Got it in the arm. Had to push it through and cut off the barb to get it out. The sooner the better. Before you have too much time to think about it.

What lure is that red one mate lol

As cool and calm as can be mate not a single swear word either 💪🏼I bought a mini set of those bolt cutters for special occasions like that after a 90 cm Jew pinned me with a 9/0 through the palm solo beach fishing best $12 ever spent

haha just got one from 55cm lure in my finger few days ago. it sure does hurt. not long enough to go all the way through with the barb. so ripped it back out with the barb the way it went in. good times!

Good advice we have all been there at some point haha

yeah mate, no fun hooking yourself. I've been fishing for over 40 years and just last year during a hot whiting bite I ended up with a hook in my arm. Just missing that big vein they take blood out of. Amazing how they go in so easy but when you try and push em through they just don't want to pierce the skin. Some decent cutters are a must, never thought I'd have that happen to me. Great vid

Is that the jollip 80D twitch in jack attack colour ?

Look at their pain. You can finally feel it, dude.

Welcome to the best sport ever 😂

Two weeks later, his balls developed massive barnacles and set a world record for the heaviest sack.

Happens to the best of us. Happened to me to the point where barb had gone right through and came out the other side of my hand and stupidly we tried a few different methods to yank it out in reverse. LOL....Didn't come out. Then we realised that it would be much smarter if we just snipped the hook and out it came- as you did. Ahhh good times!!!

Ever thought about going barbless ?

Also John, can you please show me how your gopro is attached around your neck? Great camera shots from there.. Hope you don't mind me stealing your idea.. Your hands don't get in the way of the film. 👍👌

Mate I know your pain ive done exactly the same thing brings back memories

I went fishing 2 days ago and it was like my 3rd time, I hooked myself in the ring finger, but it was like 2mm before I would've had the re-hook in my finger, so I could just pull it out, still hurt :D

BOSS!

pushing that though my god id of shed a tear HAHAH

feels like that grunter was lol'ing! ouch, yeah that bloody hurts, done that myself...

Bloody hell john ……what where you thinking 💭 lmao 🤣 we have all been there before some of us even shared a tear I’m sure of it……I upgraded my cutters after I saw RoKKiT KIT get a massive hook in his finger lol

I don't know how you managed to keep your language clean, but I appreciate that as I clicked on your video to show my 7yo what to do & carry so she can earn her fishing badge.

I did it on Frazer at the start of the yr..couldnt get it out. Ambo on the island had it out in minutes thank christ else i was going another with a treb in my thumb cause i wasn't leaving.

I’ve been there. That sucks!

lol never handle trebles like that happened to me with both in my thumb under the nail

I push it through then cut it off at the treble side than push it out. Only had to do it once !

I did this to my thumb the other day just tying it on the line... Worst part is I play guitar so I have a lot of callus. It took all of my strength and willpower to push it back out. Then, to make things worse, I only had the little side cutters on my fishing pliers to clip it with. No easy task…

Definitely no fun John, good idea to push those barbs down mate .

wow mate

Así como tu hay muchos pescadores q levantan su presa d la manera incorrecta sigan así y eso les pasará..!

that`s what many fishers do wrong never grab the lure on top always lay the fish down on the floor!

Never touch a crank bait while the fish is freaking out 😂 i rarely fish cranks because im scared it’s gonna happen sooner or later

It’s easy to cut at base of hook and thread it through

Dude just grabbed the entire bait 😂

It should be standard procedure to crush the barbs, not only in case you do exactly this but It’s kinder to the fish, yes you might lose the odd fish but it’s worth it in the long run.

Mate what's the size of the bolt cutter?

It hurt watching this video and the fish flipping around made it worse . Positive attitude !!!

How bro ouch that looks painful 😖

That is why i never grab a fish lol . Put the fish on the ground put your boot on it gently take the hook out all is fine.

You make it look like the fish was dead and not gonna move when you gonna take out the hook..i got so trigger when someone holding the fish in the middle of the back while trying to remove bait with two triple hook using their bare hand...

I crush barbs always on lures. No tools required to remove and pain free. I’ve only done it once to myself.

That’s gotta hurt I think I’ll take my time getting hooks out

0:00 dont, dont, CMON, KEEP IT IN…. I CANT…. THATS WAHT SHE SAIDDDDDDDDDDDDD

My worst nightmare for sure, as being a fisherman. One day it will get me, at least I know what to do when it does happen.

Damn!! Rambo-Chuck-Norris-shit!! Oooooo

So casual..

Last time that happened to me I dropped 11 F-bombs in 3 minutes.
