Been there done that. It’s no fun having a treble hook stuck in ya. Although, as long as you don’t touch it, the pain goes away pretty quick.

“Matsuura said he took two Tylenols for the pain and continued fishing for 10 hours, with the two man team finishing the day with a haul 2 ounces heavier than that of closest rival Chico State University. “

Not fair if he included himself as part of the haul.

As kids we were taught the “Portuguese Hook Removal” technique. You just can't quit fishing when they are biting that good.

He was still alive. There was no reason for him to quit fishing.

Spoken like my dear, departed dad. Made me smile. :)

What the hell is that? Some kind of odd looking jitterbug?

Saw a guy fishing with a Devils Horse lure hanging from his chin. My fishing partner took a wire cutter pliers and cut the trebble hook such that only one hook remained. He thanked him and he and his fishing partner continued to fish. For how long I don't know as we never say them again that day.

Fish Hook Removal

Fish hook impaled in forearm just past the barb.

To remove fish hooks when impaled past the barb, follow these steps:

Press firmly on the eye of the hook.
At the same time use a cloth, string, or some type of wrap that can be wrapped around the curved portion of the hook.
While pressing on the eye, pull with one quick motion on the attached cloth. This is virtually painless. Irrigate the wound and bandage.

Hooked my dad in the ear when I was kid flyfishing up in Alaska. He had it taken out later that night by a friend. He still jokes about it when we go fishing together. Always thought he was a trooper for the way he handled it (by not yelling and me and being real cool about it).
