I learned lots from this experience . First of all i learned that my needle nose plies cant cut my split rings (lesson) I also learned that removing the split ring when the hook is my finger is a kind of pain that i cant put into words(lesson) I also learned that always be sure to have braid line in your tackle , all ya need is a 12" stored somewhere at all time(lesson) I also learned that the painfull part of removing the hook is not the YANK. no no no my friends its all about the braid being pulled down inside the the finger untill it connects with the barb , now you reayd for the YANK!(Lesson) I also learned that the boater i was with didnt know how to do this , i luckily found the right guy in my club about 15 min after the hook went ..Yes this is a very painful procedure, however if some knows what there doing you can avoid going to the hospital and 30 min later i finished the day fishing our tourney (one band-aid) ..

I'm glad you got it out and were able to continue fishing.

HOOK REMOVAL FIRST AID INFO:

String-Yank Technique
The string-yank technique is a highly effective modification of the retrograde technique and is also referred to as the "stream" technique. It is commonly performed in the field and is believed to be the least traumatic because it creates no new wounds and rarely requires anesthesia.8 It may be used to remove any size fishhook but generally works best when removing fishhooks of small and medium size. This technique also works well for deeply embedded fishhooks, but cannot be performed on parts of the body that are not fixed (e.g., earlobe).
