A very,very sharp heavy duty pair of diagonal cutters... Speaking from experience....  THIS ^^ thanks for the reminder, anyone that fishes should have one AND KEEP IT HANDY, don't get caught trying to dig it out of the bottom of your storage compartment while you are attached to a fish and a hook. AND watch a couple videos on Tube "how to remove a hook from your finger" keep a piece of heavy braid handy for the process plus a well thought out first air kit. My nephew caught a 15# Drum on Ray Rob yesterday on a crankbait, then got a hook deep in his thumb. Had a hook in the fish, a hook in his thumb and a hook in the net. It was a cluster. If he had been by himself it would not have been pretty trying to get that fish off the hook while he was hooked. Trying to drive a boat with a hook in you attached to a fish is not going to be a pleasant experience.

Yep and make sure they're big enough to cut a big crankbait hook with one hand if you're by yourself...…….also speaking from experience. No anchor but do have a portable jump unit.
