THIS METHOD IS TO BE USED ONLY IF THE HOOK IS VERY DEEP AND THE BARB HAS COME ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND CLOSE TO THE SKIN. THIS HOOK WAS 1.5" OF EMBEDDED STEEL. THE TIP WAS 1/4-3/8" FROM COMING THROUGH. OTHERWISE YOU SHOULD USE THE FISHING LINE LOOP METHOD TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGE. I caught a hook for the first time while running jug lines on Calaveras Lake here in Texas. I threw my anchor brick out and the circle hook caught my hand. I use circle hooks for safety and this time it failed. I have thrown jugs weights hundreds of times. It only takes once. From now on I drop them. I had my first aid kit plus work tools and luckily I had an ex EMT for a guest on the boat. Way less pain than you would think. Be careful with those hooks! He used needle nosed pliers to force the hook through and bolt cutters to cut it. Then he remove it. The hook was embedded in the tendon and muscle of my finger and thumb as near as we can tell. Enjoy Y'all!
