Ivie a few times and saw him do that line hook removal trick on a guy at the Concho Ramp, so it's not new but it does work. saved that guys fishing trip! The only thing worse than a porta potty in the wintertime is a porta potty in the summertime. You can’t stop the man from learning the hard way or he will continue to be stupid.

It always worked but I would not attempt to use it if hook was close to an eye; in a joint; or around carotid artery. Some people go to church and think about fishing. Some go fishing and think about God.

Couple weeks ago I was pitching a 1 oz Hack Attack in some trees, thought I felt a bite, one 4 G hookset later my partner had been attacked by the Hack. It stuck in his cheek all the way to the bend. I gave him his options: Hospital, push through, or yank out string trick. He chose push through and manned up. Alittle pressure and the hook popped right through. Worst part was not having side cutters butch enough to cut the hook.

The old shoestring (heavy mono or braid will work) pop out method works so well that you don't even feel it come out. Pushing the hook on through is unnecessary torture, IMO. LOL

LOL Buried a crappie jig in my thumb last fall, and tried to push it through. Hurt like H*** and decided that wasn't going to work. More power to those who can push it back through. I'm too much of a wuss to do that!
