That dude is one tough bird. Although, judging by the rest of his band-aided fingers, he's had a bunch of practice. Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

I've seen drawings of how to do it - first time as a video.

Thanks

Very helpful video. This is the main reason I crush my barbs. Swimming out rocks and getting stuck in two places scares the crap outta me!

Hi Rob:wave:

LOL. Very nice. Jim tell Phil I said Hi. Been there done that an it does work. Unless you catch yourself in the ear on a back cast on a dark night. Very good video.

Great video!!! Thanks for sharing!

I did it the other night to my neighbor. He was sufficiently anesthetized by quite a few gin and tonics. FW rapala so it was a small hook. I used a lanyard that goes on a pair of fingernail clippers for cutting line. I did the old , "ready on three?" Yank on about 1.5 he was surprised that it didnt hurt at all. It was throbbing for a while but felt fine in the morning.

What's up Paul!

I watched this yesterday,never had it happen to me..until this morning, figures. Mine was in the knuckle with the fish still attached. I got the fish off with no damage so I popped it through,crushed the barb and pulled it out. Its much more fun when a fish is hanging off your hand flopping around everywhere. Never hurts to have someone to hold the plug and help out either, thanks Soups your my hero !

Awwwww!

good thing you got that Pro Tip ;)
nice that you got out fishing with soups and actually caught fish

better luck with the unhooking next time, I hope you rubbed some dirt in it, that's what real men do, they don't pass out ;)

I held my own today, in spite of the owner of the canal fishing next to us...quick rinse in the drink and I was back at it.

He didn't even shed a tear. Truely a Man among men. Truth be told, I was more concered about the 58lber, that he conquered, getting back into the water.
