Removing the d**n hook

[Ron Jones]

superglue.  stings a little at first, but holds up pretty well for small cuts. 

Just make sure the salt water is out. Gluing salt into a cut is not only asinine, it also NEVER stops burning.

that is actually a very good point!

[Nuvole]

Which will be the better option.

To create another hole by first cutting off the eye of the hook?

Or sacrifice a bit of flesh on the bard by pulling the hook out the way in goes in?

[Ron Jones]

I normally try to yank it out with the barb first and if all else fails I'll push it through and cut the barb. Hasn't happened many times.

Luckily, I haven't been hooked yet and I'd like to keep it that way.  That reminds me, I need to get another good set of wire cutters.

The way I remove them normally keeps the barb from catching. It's also painless. I've never felt anything when I've removed a hook from someone else.     Bob
