how real men remove fishooks

The string yank technique would also not work for this one.

That eyeball shot was not cool! OUCH! I'd need more than whiskey for that one.

I hooked myself last fall on Cowlitz with a single barbed hook, while casting, to the back of my head, under the scalp. It is not only that I got that sting, I ended being hit with 1 Oz led acros my face! Full swing cast!
I instructed my fishing buddy to drive the tip through (another hole) and cut the hook. The other friend couldn't even look... I bled profoundly, since this was a tear, not only a hook hole. Still have a small lump there... 
I fish for 35 years, and have never done something like this to myself... How did I manage this time, it is out of my powers to figure...

Wow, that woke me up this AM!
Soldotna, AK eye surgeons remove more fish hooks from the eye area or near eye areas than any other group in United States. I remember reading an article many years ago about the surgeons there and how busy they were during fishing season! (for those that don't know this is on the Kenai Peninsula)

Seeing first hand how many hooks can be in the air at on time I can believe it!

Hey, that lure stuck in the guy's eye is a great lure for catching cuthroat trout in Yellowstone Lake.......at least it was 30 years ago when I was there.

That is a great lesson for always wearing sunglasses while fishing.  Ouch!

OK, I am not usually squeamish, but the eyeball one made my tummy feel a little bit funny...

[PolarBear]

Eye injuries are the only thing that yuck me out.  I can hardly stand to look at them.  Naaaaasty!

[fishcrazy]

After looking at the eye ball pic I figured I bette stat packinga pistol when I go fishing.

Here's one that looks as painful as the hook in the eye:

An angler had a miraculous escape after catching HIMSELF in a freak fishing accident. Acording to The Sun News, “Peter Inskip, 42, had to be cut off his own line after a two-inch lead weight shot through his neck and lodged at the top of his chest.
The dad-of-one was fishing for carp at a lake near his home when he tried to cast his line out into the water. As he went to flick it forward, the missile-shaped weight caught in undergrowth behind him. Instead of untangling it, the frustrated fisherman tugged as hard as he could. It broke free and rocketed towards him – going straight into his skin like a bullet. Shocked Peter staggered to a nearby house to get help. Paramedics cut the fishing line before rushing him to hospital. The engineer said: I could see the line hanging out of a perfectly formed hole. It was still attached to my rod, which was in my hand, and I could feel the weight in the back of my throat. It really was the most strange feeling – I had caught myself.
