Sorry if the blood bothers you.
It didn’t bother me a bit…since it was River Rat Randy’s hand. HAH!
Stop into Everts Resort and ask River Rat Randy how to complete a hook removal painlessly. Never mind, he had his eyes closed and was as white as a ghost!
PS don’t look at the color of that rap.

That is sweet looking, pending on time of the day,I dought Randy hardly felt a thing. 
I beat that one last April on myself…buried the back treble of a 1/4oz blade past the barbs in my thumb and first two fingers… 
Put a loop of braid around the hook near the entry and pull down and away…short quick tug…OUCH! The pain leaves right away but is intense for a short time… 
Had to repeat three times… I am on blood thinners (coumaden)so I had to tape my fingers with duct tape to stop bleeding on my “One eyes” 
Quick hand me a side cutter. We’ll be back on the water in 10 minutes. Snip, snip, push hooks through, wash hands and lets fish. 
I got hooked by a Chubby Darter a week ago, very glad we are barbless here in Manitoba.
Only 24 to go BK.

Buried a crankbait hook into the knuckle of my index finger on a Canadian fishing trip two years ago. My fishing buddy would not go near it. After 30 minute rideback to the dock. The resort owners 18 year old kid said he could get it out. In the Canadian Bush about two house from town, and after two beers he pulls it back out the way it went in with a length of braided line. Poured a little beer on it went back to catching walleyes. Wish I had a picture of it.
I’m 3 for 4 with the line trick on buddies, but that one looks like a doozy. The one I didn’t get it was a nasty twisted angle caused by the dreaded sheephead. Couldn’t convince buddy to push it through. He sat in ER for 3-4 hours. He hooked himself about one minute after telling a story about telling one of his buddies that doesn’t fish that it was ok to lip grab a pike that he caught like a bass and he got diced up pretty good! i knew it was coming!
In all my years fishing I have never buried a hook past the barb in me or seen it buried in someone else. Before this year I have seen all the videos of people yanking them out with heavy braid line.
This year I hooked myself when I dropped a little pike. The nephew yanked out the hook. Like I said, I had seen it done before and was not worried. My nephew on the other hand seemed more nervous. Once I got the line looped and got the hook at the right angle, I just hoped he would yank it when I wasn’t expecting it. I didn’t want to tell him that though. But he must have read my mind. Pretty painless.
Then I get out of the bait shop on another trip and my brother reached in and buried a treble in him. I got it out the same way.
Pulled 3 hooks out of 3 different friends doing the same method last year.Have the nick name DOC now. 
I don’t know why I post that photo anymore. I think most people have had a hook in the nose at one time or another.
Certainly not as difficult to take out as two sets of trebles from a rap. 
I’m an EMT and we had an ambulance run a couple years ago where someone was stuck to the floor of a car with a treble in the hand and in the carpet. Had to cut the carpet around the hand to get it out.
When we were kids we rode our bikes to go fishing a few miles away. My cousin put a Rapala in his shirt pocket and proceeded to hook his thumb. We had to go to some house and call my mom to get us because he couldn’t ride his bike with his hand stuck inside his shirt pocket.
I’m sure everyone has their own stories.

I’ll bet Deb has the other end of that line. She just leads you around. 
would be hilarious if the hook through the nose actually happened. please tell me it was photoshopped.
P4, I will stand here and look you straight in the eye and say that photo was not photoshopped. Or these two.
The original post was titled something like this: Never swat a skeeter with a 10/0 hook in your hand.”
