removed a few hooks just like that, seen it done in the simcoe hospital 20 years ago

I would imagine it takes practice... .. the first time you do it to someone, it must be nerve wracking!!

That was posted a few months back. I only remember that because it was the first post I read on this forum.

 

It still makes me cringe to see is a second time!

Thanks for the link, I think I'm going to print it and laminate it to keep in the boat. One time me and a buddy went fishing and within the first 100m into the troll he caught an eye and caught his thumb in the barb from the fish thrashing around. That was the shortest fishing outing ever.

ouch whisky is steps 1,2 4,5,6,7,8 and 9

I had that happen with a largemouth bass.. This video was posted in my thread when I got my hook in the thumb. I tried pulling mine out myself, there was no way, it bloody well hurt man.

The hospital in Kenora on Lake of The Woods has a bulletin board covered with lures & hooks etc taken from patients who unfortuately hooked themselves and needed medical attention to get the hooks out.........

Ouch that was so hard to watch but thanks for posting that TJ.

 

I have another rule in my boat every fisherman must wear some form of eyewhere because there is no second chance when it comes to your eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was fishing with my daughter and her friend a couple years ago. Her friend was fighting a salmon boatside and the Jplug came out. Right between their 2 heads. A very narrow miss.

Ok then...I'll do it...I just wandered about tendon damage.

I would be more apt to cut the hook and wrap it up.

 

I did pull one out of my thumb a few years ago...wasn't fun

[bigugli]

I've pushed a few through to get them off. I've had the Doc cut one out.

Thanks, now my chair is puckered.

[goteeboy]

what a sissy! he needs whiskey! haha. looks very painful. i did take one in the shoulder when i was a kid. my bro popped it out again, clipped the barb and licketty split!

[okumasheffield]

I had it like that last week but was lucky enough to be able to push the hook in a bit further

and then push the shank downward in a way that I was able to pull the barb out in the directio

opposite to how the hook went in.

 

Let me tell ya ... it was not fun

[Guest gbfisher]

Perfect. LETS FISH!!!!

[acmarou]

I guess it depends how far you are from a real doc. Ain't nooooway I'd let someone that don't have a degree rip a piece of metal out of any part of me with a barb on the other end. Push it through, cut it, and were done. What does the Canadian Medical Association have to say about this? Someone said earlier about wrapping it and seeking medical attention. I AGREE!! Depending on how deep that sucker is imbedded, you could do severe damage man!!

 

Not sure if you meant it as a joke, but it's not funny!!!

[Greencoachdog]

I can never wait to get back to the house where the whiskey is to get the hook out of me!!! I gotta get that thing out ASAP!!! ... Cigarettes and lots of cussin' are my only comforters when removing a fish hook from my body!

[acmarou]

Dog!!! You are the Man! When it comes to Dr Jack & Dr Jim B. You and they I trust. The rest can bite me.

 

And I think there is room for another!!! :lol:

 

I'm goin'g bass fishing for a week. We'll talk later.

"Ok then...I'll do it...I just wandered about tendon damage."

 

Actually they cover all three methods, when I got mine in bad.. we cut it off and pushed it through.. LOL

 

My wife... and this is the gods honest truth.. told Jaden to go get the first aid kit... she came back with the bottle of scotch.. lol.. it hurt .. but that was funny right there.... we clipped the hook and pushed it through, doused the finger (and my liver) witnh the rest of the bottle, and I swear, the next morning you could barely tell anything happened...
