The snatch method is the one employed by emergency room physicians I believe.

Yes and no.
Depending on how deep it is and placement they'll either push it through and cut it off or do the snatch.

I was "lucky" enough to get one hook on a treble in the side of my thumb angled in toward the thumb bone. The hook was well past the bend so no way to yank and also no way to push it through. The doctor sliced my thumb apart to get at it. It was honestly 1 in a 1000's times that I would have a barbed treble on a plug. Just forgot to crimp em when I took it out of the package that night.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I fell off a jetty one time and when I got up,lo and behold a large popper was stuck to my shoulders,I tried to pull it out but the barb was in deep,so I went to the local hospital and they used the push through method but when they pushed it through they had nothing to cut the barb off with,so I rummaged through my tackle and came up with pliers,lucky they gave me a pain killing shot first because they had a hard time cutting the barb but eventially they cut it off and pulled it through.

When I was a kid, I had a redfin get stuck in my right thum, right into the joint. Went to the hospital and they worked on it for around 1/2 hour. They ended up cutting my finger open more to get the barb free. No way to push it out, it was right in the joint. MAN that hurt
