Got hooked pretty good the other day..

Warning! There is bad language in the video, please forgive me.

Man. Don't know if I can get that out or not. Thanks for sharing.

Geeeeezzzzzz!!!!!! That hurt just watching it!!!!

Cutting your hand off probably would have been less painful!

It was either that or go to the hospital and I'd rather use the money to pay for more fishing stuff

Man I bet that hurt like heck, thanks for sharing. Rather use money to buy more fishing stuff like barbless hooks? lol

Man my hand was hurting just by watching the video ,hardcore fisherman right there man

Die hard angler

More fishing stuff like pliers...?

I think I found my twin. Likes to fish, cusses like me and too cheap to go to the Dr.

Pliers and fingerless gloves ma' man......pliers and fingerless gloves.

Ha I left my pliers and split ring pliers at the house because I had just put new hooks on it and forgot to put em back in the bag. FYI owner hooks are pretty sharp, but that's the second in a week that I've had break off in a fish like that.

This is a picture of me getting a hook cut out of my hand by Chris Zaldain at a BASS Open event at Table Rock Lake. Lots of fun!!! Picture taken by a BASS Photographer and displayed on the bassmaster web site. How embarrassing at the time!!



Wouldn't want to have the same experience as the OP here. Much worse than my experience.

Ouch!!!! I've spent over an hour trying to get those things out before. A good sharp knife comes in real handy. Funny how those hooks can get in so deep but you just cant get them to push on thru.

Last month this happened with a spotted bass flopping on the other end of the bait!

Not funny at the time but one time my buddy and I hired a guide on Toledo Bend, an older guy named Benny ( forget his last name ) and he had a Raycraft boat. He had a transom mounted trolling motor and guided from the back. I was in the front and my buddy was in the back. I was throwing a buzz bait and catching a few and my buddy decided he would tie one on. Unbeknownst to me he had sat down behind me to change lures and the next cast I hooked him in the top of head with the buzz bait and of course back lashed my reel. I turned around to see what happened and he was just sitting there with the buzz bait stuck in his head. I was beside myself but he was quite calm about it. We hurried back to the truck and I carried him to town to find an emergency room. Found one and as we were walking down the hall the buzz bait started spinning and as we approached the nurse at a window she ask me could she help me and at the same time saw my buddy with the buzz bait in his head and best she could tried not to laugh but couldn't help herself and we all started laughing. The doctor got to him quick and started removing the hook as we all were tearing up laughing. Apparently if you have to get hooked the top of the head is the least painful cause my buddy never complained.
