My worst one was a 7/0 hook that came in right between my thumb and index finger on the bottom of my hand and came right out the top.

Bad memories this brings up. I've had to take fish hooks out of myself multiple times. Paying for college I worked as fishing guide up in Alaska. Needless to say clients can be really hard on their guides if they don't pay attention.First thing I tried to instill in my clients when I was guiding in AK was HOLD YOUR LEAD!!!!!!! 10 oz of swinging lead can really dig a hook in deep and quickly!

Yea, when that 7/0 got buried I was releasing a 30lb King and said "Whatever do do once I grab the line Do Not lift up the rod tip." Well I grabbed the line a foot above the hook bare hand and he loaded the rod as the king rolled on its side allowing the hook to come free.
Worst one I ever saw, I was in Uclulet Canada and a lady put a hook on a point Wilson dart in under the knuckle on her hand and it slid up in the bone. This one took a visit to the ER and coast guard assistance. Moral of this story smell gel, on darts makes them slippery, only put it on the bottom half of you are going to use scent so you have somewhere to grab.
Fist thing I tried to instill in my clients when I was guiding in AK was HOLD YOUR LEAD!!!!!!! 10 oz of swinging lead can really dig a hook in deep and quickly!

My grandparents used to have a summer place at Twin Lakes up in the Col Rez. As kids we fished off the docks. There was a three of us little rug rats, all between 6-8yrs old, fishing one day when a girl and her knucklehead brother showed up. He was gonna show us all his mad casting skills and got to whipping his pole around like a complete idiot. Didn't take long before he had the hook socked in his sisters forehead. That was over 40 years ago and I can still see that fishhook sticking out of her forehead and hear her screaming as if it just happened yesterday. I remember her idiot brother kept tugging on the line and it pulling the skin up off her forehead just like hook removal number three in the video. After multiple failed attempts to get the hook out her dad clipped the end off and pulled it through.
Ironically enough, I witnessed a treble get buried in my buddy's hand on Twin Lakes a couple years ago. Shortly after we found this video :chuckle:

As bad as a picture as this paints, this is freaking hilarious. I can just see it happening. :chuckle:
