I use all that stuff but needle nose with a cutting edge WON'T work most of the time...

Ask me how I know . Damn thing got hung in my jacket sleeve too. But that was fish 7 in a 13 fish night and the bleeding stopped before I attracted any sharks. I was able to push the cutoff shank of a 4/0 treble through my hand . I cook for a living so I keep my Tetanus shots updated. But my hand was sure sore the next couple of days.
Yeh, out on a bar, several hundred feet from shore... "It's only a rat bluefish . Had to just the remaining part of the hook too....
