[@es3815]

Saved my day! The most painful part of this was in thinking how much its going to hurt when i pull it out. Actually, I followed the your video held the hook a down, tied fishing line around the stuck barb and something solid in the boat. Grabbed my finger and yanked it. It was over in a second painlessly. Thank you for taking to time to post and share this!

[@dalejones1476]

you guys are really going all out for those subscribers these days. Cameron drew the short staw? Lol Great video!

[@robertv6601]

I pulled a treble hook out of the back of a woman’s thigh today. Did not see your video in time and I don’t know that it would’ve helped as it was a treble hook. I ended up taking locking pliers and getting at it. She was a trooper. It was deep, real deep. I used the same idea of the angle that you had. Great minds think alike. Great video, my man!

[@rogerdeschenes6749]

Dude is chill. Good explainer. Well done.

[@danabowen5491]

Great job, Cameron! I appreciate you sharing this video even though it hurts your pride. 🤕

[@fishinthebanks3512]

I hooked my self with a big salmon bomber. I hooked myself with the front two hooks while there was a squirming 21 inch pike on the 3rd hook Ripped all sorts of skin but I was fine and the pike lived

[@rjdjr6087]

Perfect explanation on the technique of pulling it out as to put pressure away from the barb. Sinking a hook into a finger is my biggest concern when out fishing.

[@pault5363]

Yours is the first video I found when I had to pull a hook just now same finger, same location. Thx 😂

[@dmtadventures7044]

Your apprehension was priceless:) Great useful video as always.

[@Exploer8591]

Cameron, I'm nursing a whiskey sour as I watch this video, and, even in my impaired state, I feel your pain. Thanks for taking one for the team! You the man!

[@captainniles8345]

Yes, been there before. I was releasing a summer steelhead on a double hook rig w/corkie. Fish was hooked on the upper hook. As I was trying to free the hook, the fish did what fish do. Bottom hook went (luckily) all the way thru my index finger. Was able to crimp the barb, and push it back out. Nicely executed with the mono and cleat!

[@manonathompson8140]

THANK YOU. Had a fully embedded hook in my dog's leg and can't afford another ER visit. Worked like a charm 😭👍

[@christinerogers9123]

Thanks, worked perfectly on hubby who has been fishing 70 years, first hook in finger today. He even had the 40lb line!

[@clifflynch2782]

Just got back from the E. room and a two hour, three Dr. hook removal session. Wish I have seen your video first. Nice job.

[@torreybanes505]

I just used this method to remove a kokanee hook from the tip of my finger just now. Your unfortunate accident is benefiting others haha. Thanks for the video!

[@eddiebroadwell3167]

Hooked myself in the knee cap with a bass worm hook it took a bit to get it out love your guys videos I've learned a lot keep em coming would like to meet you guys some day

[@arunkasinathan]

Thanks mate. The idea worked like a charm and no pain as you said😊😊😊

[@kengoodwin4355]

Thank you I just used your technique after getting a small hook inserted in the index finger and lo and behold thank God it worked!!!

[@WolfzVideo]

Thats awesome!

[@jim5840]

Thanks a lot lol. Really saved me a lot of pain. I had a nasty treble hook stuck in that hurt like crazy, but your trick really got it out fast and painlessly.

[@kevinoshea4980]

Great video...you handled it like a champ.

[@808kapuna9]

thanks for the tutorial. about to attempt it now

[@user-sn5xl9wc2m]

You da man. Those hurt!!! Good technique getting it out. Great to know.

[@AddictedFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@tg1cent765]

Dang dude!!!! Thank you for the demo and I learned something!

[@tjhester20]

I feel like we just talked about this last year. You jinxed it!!!!

[@AddictedFishing]

Tj Hester 🤣🤣

[@crazydrummer181]

Dude, thank you. This video gave me the confidence to do it. I had to ask a stranger to tie it to the pier and it worked like a charm. First cast of a new lure, caught a speckled trout then myself.

[@AddictedFishing]

Glad it helped

[@garyseiferman4984]

Informative and helpful!

[@reelingintheoutdoors1612]

I started fishing at 7 yrs. I have yet stuck a hook in my hand or any body part.. If it was a knife a different story.. great tip and know I know what to do if I get hooked. Thanks for the tip guys.

[@fishing4reel_247]

The only good thing about barbless hooks they come out of your hand easier

[@rwl001x2]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@sarahiandolo4947]

7 year old son caught a nice white bass. He went to grab it & it flopped & sunk 2 barbs of a treble hook into his middle finger & thumb on the same hand. Needless to say that was a trip to the ER. On top of all that the fish we left in the live well were stolen by a greedy raccoon while we were at the ER. We were told of this method and had to google it! Thanks for the tutorial! Hopefully it never happens again but considering he is addicted to fishing too, this might come in handy!

[@TaserTot]

That hurts. I got one under my fingernail one time when I was a kid. I'll tell you, if you keep a pair of needle nose pliers in your tackle box, grab the hook where it bends, push down twist back towards the shank and jerk all at the same time it will do the same thing. But that fishing line thing is pretty cool. Also it really helps if somebody else does it for you and doesn't tell you when they're about to do it. A couple of nips of whiskey don't hurt either. 😁

[@surgebot]

That was awesome.

[@nicktoth6651]

Awesome vid!

[@Stittsy1963]

Who was it that got the hook in near their nose about five years ago when you guys were video taping a trip? That was the episode that introduced me to your channel. 😁

[@AddictedFishing]

Haha ya that was Lonny.

[@twistedjigco.548]

That one hurt to watch 😅

[@kevinhedgepeth3055]

I was working as deck hand on a charter boat out of Winchester Bay when I was 17. One of the flat landers caught a nice fish. I had the hooks in hand re-baiting it. The boat rocked a bit and the lead bounced. The flat lander jerked the rod yelling I got another one - I got another one. The hook was imbedded in fleshy part of my palm beneath my right thumb. We had to force the hook on through, cut the barb, and back the hook out. That was on the first of 3 four hour trips. Made for a long day.

[@Nwyotakid]

Hooked myself straight through the ear while learning how to fly cast 1/8 ounce marabo jigs up in ketchikan AK. Cut the barb, pull out the shank and keep fishing

[@anthonyjenkins6073]

Never hooked myself but Cameron that was awesome nice to know how to pull a hook from my finger I need to book a trip with you

[@donaldrosin4077]

Had to remove a hook from the back of my hand last year and it is a must to do it that way. No go on just pliers

[@808e46]

It happens! Good stuff!

[@kalelauer2420]

Hooked myself with a brads wiggler this fall. I feel ya Cam.

[@damonowens4282]

I love this videos

[@wulgar9648]

Thanks for the video! Executed perfectly.

[@trentdeerhuntingaventures]

Thanks man this saved me to day

[@johnbaker4847]

Hope I remember "how to" if/when it happens to me. Thnx man! 👍🙀😊🎣

[@Blktailhunter53]

Nicely done

[@blakeandres7693]

Stood here and watched your video while my girlfriend stood next to me with a barbed hook in her thumb! Worked like a dream! Thanks!

[@neuey2012]

Video was helpful today getting a hook out of a buddies finger and he had it BURIED and this worked like a charm

[@rickbackous7755]

Thanks Cameron, I remember watching this earlier but when I needed the knowledge I couldn't remember it. I tried getting it out with pliers but that was not happening - oh well.

[@no_namesharker311]

Great video… helped me get a hook out so thank you

[@paulpappas1278]

That hurt just watching it!!! Good job!!!

[@VintageHambone]

Well done.

[@no_regerts5176]

The first time I watched this video, I thought “ouch”! Today, I watched this video again to help get a 4/0 hook out of my hand. Thanks so much!

[@JeremY01122]

Awesome good stuff

[@jimcollins1075]

Good video.

[@aktrapper6126]

Thanks

[@Kayakingoutdoorsman]

yummy lol slick job getting it out bro

[@darkreelaction]

Man that HAD to hurt!!! Great job bro!!!

[@brassmonkey482]

Thanks for the tip saved a trip to the hospital.

[@robertmcfly412]

I had a silver in the net out in front of long beach a d the same thing happened. I used pliers and it was bad it got infected a puffed up for 2 weeks. You did a way better job.

[@tarananajaika]

I came across the sentence "to hook one's finger" and I wanted to see if it was some kind of phrase you should know. Well, it's not but now I know how to remove a hook from my finger. Nice :-D

[@davidcrowder2586]

Had a kid with a hook deep and coming through the skin. Wouldn’t let me pop off the barb. It was his favorite lure. Put his finger to sleep and used a scalpel to get it out intact. A Real fisherman.

[@andyniebel1681]

Thanks. Just hooked my finger with a 4x treble. Unfortunately the Barb was deep into muscle/tendon. Jerked on it hard and it only dug in. To the ER - tetanus shot. 7 shots of lidocaine and some handy work by the doc got it.

[@anthonyjenkins6073]

Great vid on my way to go fish van hook arm north Dakota for walleye

[@medtech1a]

Great job taking the hook out.

[@LetsFish21]

Legend!

[@jawsthebass623]

Hooked myself many times, Thanks! This is much easier

[@R1Kyle]

Tie a loooong Snell knot onto the hook and cut the tag off real short, slide the snell not towards the eye but push it under the skin to the barb. Hook comes out with way less damage and pain. Also the way you yanked it out ballistically you got lucky you did not hook you hand as it came out of your finger.

[@SethDunbar123]

Teammate in boat today had a 3/4 oz jig in his index finger. I thought something like this would work because line would act like a lineman blocking for the running back - couldn’t thinking snell fast enough, so we iced his finger numb pushed barb through and flattened it. Would have been better to have only one hole.

[@fishp0rn208]

What a stud I don’t know if I could do that

[@AddictedFishing]

Justin Whited I was thinking the same thing. Im not sure I could do it. - Marlin

[@saskwatch4800]

Wow..not sure I could have yanked it that fast! Crazy!

[@drumminsonlive9199]

You did it perfectly...

[@tyroberts9515]

ATTABOI , CAM!!

[@lukevilleneuve3249]

Yep happened today got 2 of the 3 prongs in

[@houma1984]

OMG, you are so patient , men i think that hurt

[@user-xs2kh1ne6c]

I am the man, the myth, the legend.....annnnnd I hooked my self lmao 🤣. Really good advise though. I got hooked in the shoulder. I was trying to net my buddies fish and it spit the hook. This technique works. I have used it. I had both my hands though lol

[@SledorFish]

Twice I have had a hook in my hand with a wild coho on the other end of a double hook rig. Nothing like a big wild coho thrashing around with the second hook buried past the barb. Luckily they were barbless and now I use a release tool instead of pliers.

[@AddictedFishing]

SledOrFish No bueno! That sounds like it hurts!

[@dustindisney2011]

What a beast...

[@jbob2852]

Gosh dang I have one buried as we speak out on Lake Okeechobee catching specks. Im fixin to have to do it 😖🤢🤢🤮🤮

[@tysontjacobson]

Any tips for Merwin? I was up there this morning in an Alumaweld Stryker and only caught one little Kokanee for 4 hours of trolling. I was using dodgers, hoochies/smile blades, and white shoepeg corn.

[@AddictedFishing]

Tyson Jacobson Fish are deep. 40-60 feet.

[@nwwoodsman2545]

What lake are you on? Merwin or yale

[@MrAcuta73]

46 years old and still haven't managed to bury a hook past the barb, even the seemingly endless number of Owner that thirst for my blood. (Just a flesh wound) Guess it's a good argument for having some basic first-aid stuff onboard. Antiseptic especially. Be on that lake for a few days in July...Dad booked a camp site. Seems strange to camp so close to home, but at least it's convenient. And? Kokanee and eggs for breakfast, my FAVORITE!!

[@carpetgolf5752]

Get your hands on some Mustad Saltisms. You’ll get that barb straight through 😁

[@wildandliving1925]

Cut the trebble hook then pushed it through since it was barbed and the tip was poking out. It's like an arrow head sometimes it's best to just keep going through

[@squid435]

That sucks when that happens. I got hooked in the cheek when I was little,my friend was casting and on his back cast hooked my cheek forward cast yanked it right out my cheek blood was all over

[@genericx2347]

Are you still friends?

[@leannehall4390]

I literally got hooked yesterday first time ever like u says it hurts more coming out then going in my bf just pulled it out with his pliers

[@subilly04]

Big props to Cam for letting that hook just kick it till we got the right footage.

[@manfordjennings3905]

Atta boy!!

[@PKD253]

I got a hook stuck in my pinky on Saturday. I feel your pain!

[@nathanielriesterer9103]

One of my buddies hooked himself in the nose when we were fishing one day,he was fly fishing. Took him about an hour to get it out seriously. Good friend of mine but man it was humorous.

[@edwardkline796]

I had a 4/0 swimbait hook buried so deep that It would not come out. ER visit was definitely needed. They had a cork board in the ER with at least a hundred hooks and lures hanging on it. I didn't feel so dumb after seeing that!

[@outplayinghooky8515]

I have had a2/0 hook in my leg I used a tiny pair id scissors to chit ther hole open then pulled it out.

[@sorenfontana3614]

Thanks for the sacrificial education

[@grant0410]

Got one in the cheek once, went almost all the way through, didn’t have any super heavy line so had to use a pair of pliers and just rip it out. Probably should have just left it in till I got home. Then my dad got a fly in the neck the next week.

[@salmonkiller2545]

Nice work getting it out...how did it happen ???

[@AddictedFishing]

Salmon Killer removing the hook from Kokanee.

[@DaveWasHere112]

This basically cemented the fact that I’m never going fishing again.

[@steventaylor470]

I hooked myself good with a coho killer in my middle finger. I forced the end of the hook through the skin so the barb was exposed, cut off the eye and pulled it the rest of the way through. Hurt like a sumbitch, but still managed 1 king and 2 silvers

[@salmonkiller2545]

I have only hooked myself badly one time....Got a barbed hook in my hand fishing at baker lake trying to release a dolly....had to push the hook threw the skin and cut the barn off...!!! I’m much more cautious when handling fish now... I got the hook in the web skin area between my pointer finger and thumb.

[@salmonkiller2545]

Barb... not barn lol

[@sulaimanakhtar4006]

Wish I watched this video before having to push two hooks through my middle finger. One was deeply in and the other was just passed the barb. Needless to say, I pushed them through to get them out. Finger hurts, but the hooks are out.

[@Jimbo_81]

I pushed mine all the way through as well, it SUCKED!

[@crystalgarcia7217]

Ouch!! 😰

[@lhenderson3285]

Fish barbless ... we do in British Columbia, Canada...
