Since then, I carry pliers and ALWAYS use them on fish caught with treble hooks. Funny thing is, it wasn't even that deep! That's an easy one to remove. You're lucky! I always carry side cutters on me in case of the emergency that they're needed. I've never buried one past the barb on myself, but I did have to cut a frog out of my buddies scalp earlier this summer. We were both glad I had those cutters when it happened. Quote
crypt Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 my friends wife 20 plus years ago, when they were first dating went out and she stuck a Zara Spook in his head.then about 2 months later she was trying to get a worm unstuck from a tree and when it let loose the bullet weight went in his forearm. but wait there's more. she also stuck him in the groin with a Trap on the backcast. it was a heck of a wedding though....... 2 Quote
Cody_Reagan Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I just watched the video in how to remove the hook with fishing line and now I can't wait for my fishing buddy to hook himself so I can try it!!! haha 2 2 Quote
Angealy Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I have gotten hooks into my hands/other places it shouldn't go but they have never went pass the barb. Making removing quite easy, However the same cannot be said for my sister. We were in a fishing contest "We never enter one before so what a rush!" trust me we were not ready but we still managed and give it our all. The rules were simple: Catch the biggest rainbow trout by 12 pm. We came in third place, we got a m spinning combo/goodies and even got a 25$ deposit from a local fishing tackle shop we all agreed to use for a net. TLDR: My one sister ended up getting a single hook with a barb stuck inside her thumb on a bridge by the lake. My other sister was standing next to her and pulled it out of her and all i hear is my sister with the hook in her thumb scream like someone was hurting her. I was no where near them and was fishing in another spot on the lake. We now carry rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer and a first aid kit in my backpack. 1 Quote

Panic will set in I assure you!!! I can vouch for that! My son and I were trolling Shad Raps on Lady Evelyn Lake in Ontario for northern pike and walleye. We got a 7 or 8 lb northern and as I was getting it out of the net it drove one of the treble hooks into the meat of my palm. I was able to get the fish off the crankbait before it ripped me up too bad. From then on I learned to remove the lure before removing the fish from the net. 1 Quote
RHuff Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Worst hook I've seen was a guy had a treble hook buried right in the heel of his foot. Right in the meat. He said that pushing it thru little by little was the worst pain he's felt, but the second he cut the barb and backed it out it was like nothing had never happened..... Weird. Quote

Weird. yep, basically what my gf said, it was the barb causing the pain, not the hook so much.. makes me wonder.. do fish feel that kind of pain? guess we'll never know, a lot of weird reports out there concerning that topic, fun sport, kinda cruel if you really look at what we do.. but, part of being on top of the food chain!

BobP Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I don’t understand why guys ruin their fishing day and run to an emergency clinic to get a hook removed by someone who knows less about how to do it painlessly and with the least amount of tissue damage than a dedicated fisherman SHOULD. It’s easy to do. It’s quick to do. Do it, forget about it, and continue fishing. Quote
Chance_Taker4 Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I fish as a co angler 90% percent of the time. Unfortunately I have been hooked more times than I care to admit. Every time I see the boater fishing the front and not the side I just brace myself for impact. I have not needed to go to the hospital yet and only went past the barb on two different occasions *knock on wood*. I am also a 7 handicap in golf and refuse to teach my wife to play. I don't have the stress level for that. 2 Quote

Dr's do know how, she's done many times before actually. But out of hands not a thigh. I think I forgot how to do it as soon as I was born, didn't have YouTube in the 80's to learn it again, shucks!

Sword of the Lord Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I had a Rat-L-Trap get stuck in the weeds Tuesday evening. I was fishing a shoreline and the wind took it too far in on the cast. I gave it a good yank and it flew back at me, 100mph it seemed like. It hit me right in the face, below my eye and the treble buried into my cheek. It wasn't the almost losing an eye that freaked me out. It wasn't the hook. I was like, if this g-d hook just scarred up my beard I'm gonna be so po'd. It didn't. It was right above it. I was so mad at the thought that I just ripped it out. And that's my irrelevant story. 1 Quote

Super User N Florida Mike Posted October 22, 2017 Super User Posted October 22, 2017 Not this again. Ok , I wont mention me getting hooked this time. Did have a close call with a girlfriend.When she cast she hooked my hat and threw it out in the lake. Now , Im usually kind of attached to my hats but this time I thought it was funny. Didnt marry her though?. Quote
GorillaBass Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 lmao ... ok ok, i'll post pics tonight. I was looking @ them last night- seeing the point poking under the skin is gross lol I went Fri, Sat and Sun, kind of funny how much more I pay attention to where all my tackle is on my boat. HOWEVER, where I sit in the front I keep alot of my baits on the ground...yes, where my feet are, and im barefoot 99% of the time, given there just to the right where my trolling motor is, I know it's a matter of time til I forget or don't see a crankait or treble hook and step on it -___- ....it's actually a bad habit of mine.. Do you guys do that? say you change a lure or something and just cut it off and leave it on a small section of the boat during the trip then like put them away when you get home? ... I'm fn lazy and just want to switch lures ASAP so I just cut it, throw it the side, then tie and throw again, do a tie down nd organize when i get home Quote

A pair of crocs, whatever. I wear slippers around the house for the same reason only there's no hooks on Legos, but man the only things I can think of that would suck worse than stepping on a lego in your bare feet are fish hooks and land mines.

I literally can't agree more. I'm crazy for doing that, esp since I run around my boat like a psycho, sometimes I get a little too courageous as I run to the back and the front of the boat, its a 15' jon with platforms front and back. I literally missed my crankbait by a mm, that thing would've been the end of me. I heard crocs are super comfortable....but for god sakes they are sinfully ugly haha 1 Quote

I'm like, "if I called her right now and told her I stepped on one...", I'd never hear the end of it, then she'd tell me "Good, you deserve it, ill meet you at patient first" haha that.. or maybe try yanking that ish out on my own lol this thread def took a bunch of different turns Quote
