How to remove a fish hook

I don't how this guy could do this video..   Any trained medical personnel agree with him?

Sick bastard! I couldn't even watch the whole thing.

When I was about 4 years old I snagged myself in the back of the head fishing for salmon in Oregon. Luckily my dad had just seen a technique on a fishing show for removing hooks. When I got home I told my mom that all I caught was a 40 pounder. Where is it? She asked. I'm right here ma!!! (Showing her my blood soaked scalp)

 

Any trained medical personnel agree with him?

No. Mostly....

If the barb was already back through and I could snip it I would probably do it. I'm not going to cause further damage by popping it back out myself....

If you can get to a facility to have it removed, do that....

This guys a ****ing idiot.

I stuck a 6/0 Sturgeon hook into the base of my thumb on the palm side while unloading after a full day fishing and in a hurry to get home.   HUGE barb on those things.   Tried pulling it out, no way sunk way deep into healthy meat.   Went to the ER, they numbed it up and tried pushing it all the way through, but the skin was just to pliable so the hook would not penetrate.   While in the midst of this the nurse quietly asks "Well, I guess now you know how the fish feel don't you"?   WOW...Bxtch!

Doc had to cut a hole in the skin just to get the pointy end to exit my palm so he could push the hook forward and cut off the barb.   Not a pleasant ending to an otherwise great day.  Inherent risk of playing with sharp pointy things for a hobby.

That dude must enjoy pain!

How come he doesn't bleed?  I stick myself with something sharp, it bleeds.  I pull it out and it bleeds even more.  Him?  Not a drop!

Chuck Norris washes this guys underwear.

Some guys will do anything to get on YouTube.

Just one more reason I always fish BARBLESS.

Now I know what Stretch Armstrong is doing these days!

he for sure is a tool and likely into some weird shit bro...likes to have cock earings---- yanked out

That dude must enjoy pain!

I personally experienced being on party boat and on 2 separate occasions and my companions got big hooks impaled on their hands.   Both were RF trips.

The captains did surgery out at sea.  They pushed the barb completely out, cut the barb off and pulled the hook out.  One of them was a gal (Liz) who got impaled by a shrimpfly hook.  I had to hold her down.  She was screaming during the process.  My other buddy (Angel) got stuck with one of the big treble hooks on diamond bar.  He didn't flinch, after the hook was out, the capt. put a bandaid and Angel went back to fishing.

For sure there is a way to push it through and clip the barb..if there is no tendon or bone or finger nail..and if the person can hang...if not ...dike/cut the hook off with 1/4"-1/2" for the e.r folks to grab and paddle in....


but I think the guy could have used a raw drumstick and the explanation to get the point the across-pardon the pun

I actually removed a hook stuck in someone's  cheek.  It got stuck while fly fishing.  He lives in the country and tells all his friends about the story of me googling it and pulling it out.  We used the #3 method but it actually worked on the first try.

This guy is crazy for putting such big hooks into his arm.

In 08 I extracted a hook from Jeff's neck after we both yard saled on the Stani.

It was pretty gross and kinda scary, more for him than me lol. He was dragging his rod by a hook from his neck. Talk about foul hooked!
