CL SmooV your welcome. Had a little accident with the fish hook thing myself today at home no less. Instead of a trip to Urgent Care I did a Google search and came up with the web site. Hey it worked, some blood, some pain, no tears. lol.

You may have heard don't try to catch a falling knife, well don't try to catch a falling lure either.

You may have heard don't try to catch a falling knife, well don't try to catch a falling lure either.My favorite method is to simply push the barb back out, and remove it barb-first, so the eye easily slides out.

It will hurt like a #$%&* though. But at the same time, less damage.

Thanks for the info that we all hope we never have to use. A friend of mine recently got a hook in the tip of his finger while removing a Lucky Craft from a calico bass. He tried to pull it out with pliers with no success but had a sudden flash of inspiration and tried backing it out while rotating it; basically unscrewing it out of his finger. He said it popped right out with minimal pain. It might be worth a try if all else fails.

Having a fish hook stuck in the skin can definitely be painful and thus uncomfortable, but there are several ways that it can be successfully removed.

I have used the #4 method on myself and two other guys. The key is putting enough pressure on the eye or shank of the hook to push the barb down. Don't pussyfoot around when you pull and make sure you turn your head because the hook comes flying out. There is no pain when done correctly.
