Removing a fish hook from my own finger!

While making fishing lures one day I accidentally buried a hook in my fingertip. I used this as an opportunity to demonstrate an easy hook removal technique I learned from reading an outdoor magazine when I was younger.
There are many different ways to remove fish hooks depending on your exact situation. There are also several helpful videos available online showing various methods including the very same method in my video. I chose to share my video in hopes that it will help someone else if they find themselves in the same situation.
I have used this method successfully three times now, however this was the first time I was the one with the hook in me.

That made my finger hurt just watching you get ready, but it looks like it works well, and there were no tears! I like your solution, I'm hooked! Thanks Crappiemagic Mike!

That was awesome. I wish I saw this video 30 years ago. Except it didn’t exist them.
