You guys are awesome. Just used this trick to save our 8 year old boy a lot of suffering. From the bottom of our family's heart thanks for posting this trick.
already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp. Additionally, the gap is wide enough to actually hook a fish (not always the case with circle hooks). I purchased the 8/0, but probably should have got the 9/0 (they seem slightly smaller than other 8/0 hooks). Additionally, having the point in-line helps if you drift fish. I have yet to get a serious snag with one of these hooks.
I could have gotten it out a lot faster, but I was trying to get him to look away. I finally just went ahead and jerked it out. Besides, he wasn't really going anywhere..... :) He did do a great job and this little accident turned into a great opportunity to demonstrate the hook removal technique.
Was up near Lake George and a fellow got one hook of a treble stuck in his finger. I had just told my buddies about this episode of your show, so it was up to me to give it a shot. My one friend removed the treble from the crankbait, using a multi-tool to cut the split ring, and not the eye. I then made two lines up with loops. Another fisherman distracted the victim and "POP"!! out it came. He didn't even realize it was out! He was back fishing. Thanks again. Great show..
Oh my gosh that made me feel weak! I was actually looking for a video on how to remove treble hooks from fish because I've never used lures and want to try.
Basically, in this situation (which I've been in multiple times) I would push the hook point through, including the barb, and then cut the hook at the base of the treble and slide it out. Less painful and damaging. I went back to fishing both times.
I just used your vid to remove two of the three hooks on a treble from my leg. Thanks for the info. This allowed me to continue my day after hooking myself on the second cast of the trip and an 9 inch bass.
I have been fishing for ten years and have yet to hook myself badly... Now that I am married and my wife comes with me... I have seen more close encounters hahaha.... Will keep this video in my back pocket and I am dreading the day one of us gets hooked! Thanks for the info!
+Gianca C Great idea. I haven't hooked myself (except on purpose) but I have had other people hook me and hook themselves that I have had to remove. Definitely something that fishermen should know and be able to execute.
Just wait till you have kids! My son plopped a fish in my lap, promptly hooked me in the thigh. My method was turn it through with pliars, real fast before i realized that it hurt, cut the barb then pull it out. I like this guy's technique better, only 1 hole and he saved the hook! Difficult to do yourself though.
We just finished another shoot for Kayak Bassin and I received several requests for a closer look at this technique. So, I used a treble and more visible line to demonstrate the technique on myself. We should have it up pretty soon. It was a lot more difficult that I expected to hook yourself and really get the hook buried. - Chad
I've had a hook in my skull (behind my ear) and in the finger joint of my thumb. Both were removed by my Dad using this technique. I never felt pain during either.
This is EXACTLY why I replaced ALL the trebles with circle hooks....... It also makes the lures almost weedless, and you get to release healthier fish too! But thank you much for sharing because I do still fish with folks that won't make the switch.
This was one of the best VLOGS I ever seen.. Again thank you very much.. Very Very good on how to pull a treble hook out of the hand Just awesome for sure.
Watching this year 2023, it really helped me to help my cat with a fish hook buried in his paws. I also spent hours pulling the fish hook and it only hurts him more and it only got more and more locked too, so I started searching and your demo did not disappoint me. More power to your chanel thank you ..
OK, so... my Dad always taught us (assuming it's a barbed hook) to push the hook through, snap off the barb and point, then back it out. Does this make sense? Sound right to me, but I've never had to do it. Thanks.
Was confident the whole time. Pulled out hundreds, it’s just tougher to video it while having yourself in one kayak, the other Angler in another kayak and then the camera guy in another kayak. Confidence was no problem, coordination, that was another story. Lol
Watched this vid A year or two ago and always kept the knowledge in my head and never thought it would happen to me but the other day has to use it to get a treble out of my thigh
I've only had one treble hook caught in my hand on the back near the base of my thumb (so far). I got a nearby grandfather and his grandson (young fellow), to help me get the fish off the hook. I took my angle cuts and cut the top of the hook from the lure. As I proceeded to grab the hook with my needle nose pliers and curl the hook point out from inside the skin, I looked over at the mans grandson, he was white as a sheet, thought he would faint. I snipped off the barb and pulled it out... ; >)
GoopgaGaming not with the short shank on a treble hook, then you have two wounds and potential places for infection and cutting a hook is a lot harder than it sounds and most people don't have anything with them to cut it even if they could. This tutorial is designed to show the option that is easiest to accomplish with what you have available.
KayakBassinTV I got hooked by a worm hook one time, I pushed it through clipped the barb off and pulled it right out, And then sterilized the wound, I was just stating that there is another way about doing this.
Chad Hoover I had a treble get stuck in between my pinky and ring finger on my right hand. My wife was in the other kayak. I had her come over and cut the line to my rod. I ended up having to force it through my skin and clip it lol wife was no help haha. I carry a heavy set of wire snippers just for this situation. I tried your way and that sucker was NOT gonna come out. The barb was grabbing too much meat.
I went to a doctor's office to get a hook out. He said you don't wanna do it this way because the barb can catch things and rip muscle or tendons on the way out. He said to push the hook through and pop it through the skin then cut the barb then the remaining part of the hook will just slide out without any issue.
I have a small kit that I usually carry to make doing this easy. For this video, I didn't have it with me and it was nice to show how to improvise. I am filming in Florida this week, so I will shoot a second part of this video where I hook myself and demonstrate how to remove the hook with close ups on the set up. I will also show how to make a easy kit to carry in your gear bag.
Mono has lots of stretch and doubling it up does help with that. But if you have braid that's the best way to go because it has 0 stretch and all you have to worry about is the line breaking which is un likely.
One more reason that I've done my best to eliminate all treble hooks from the kayak. Does that mean I'll never get hooked? Nope, but it reduces the odds. Do I miss some fish because I'm only using single hooks? Probably, but I still have a blast. Great video and a worthwhile technique to know!!
I had this happen to me a week or so ago with a Catfish. I pushed the barb through and crimped it down with pliers so I could back it out. I'm wondering if this technique works if you're by yourself?
Hi. My friend and I went fishing the other day. We had a lot of problems with the fish swallowing the hooks, or in the case where the hook was imbedded in the gill. We were having trouble getting the hook out. We're just beginners, but I've been trying to find a good video of how you are "supposed" to pull the hook out. Could you give us any advice or post a video showing how to do it?
Good video. The angle it is embedded might make a difference in technique used. Only one I've had experience with we pushed it on through after cutting the eye off.
Yeah that was a nice way to pull that hook out thats for sure.... i remember when i was fishing for salt water trout in Australia... we had hooks the size of your index finger when you bend it into a hook shape to use to catch the trout or sweetlip & we had a section of a cars drive shaft as a weight...well i went to drop the loaded rig...so it had multiple hooks on it...but the line spooled off two turns & i didnt see it happen & when i dropped it down the back of the boat it dropped further than it would have normally...end result was that big hook hooking into my finger & i caught the weight to stop it from pulling down further & the skipper saw what happened & as i pulled that weight back onto the boat he cut the line & said... " here drink this" so i took a good swig of this spirit that was close to 100% proof but it calmed me & i looked over to the other guy who was sharpening a knife....he got it nice & sharp as the skipper cut the end of the hook where you tie the line to & by that time to skipper gave me the bottle & said " drink how much you want to". Then the other guy poured the spirit over the knife blade & some on my finger & then cut my finger in a X pattern & took the rest of the hook out. I cant remember what that spirit was but i hardly felt a thing & my finger was bandaged & the skipper asked me if i needed to go home & i said NAHH m8 ... so we continued to fish after i had a rest...end of story.... The moral of the story is...." Keep your eye on the spool.... or you'll end up lookin like a fool :)
I just had this happen to me yesterday on the Caney Fork. I wish I would have known this trick before! I had to push the treble hook back out of my hand so my buddy could cut the bard off with my rusty needle nose. I never want to do that again!
Just had a treble hook snag my left hip. had to push both hooks though and pinch the bard to get out. I tried tugging on it. Didn't work. Maybe I was too wussy to yank it out. But it was on an area FAR more sensitive than my hand.
This happened to me in the middle of nowhere and after a few minutes of sitting there with a hook in my hand, I resolved that I had to push it all the way through my finger and cut the barb off. It took some balls to do it, but it worked. Healed in a few days.
This happened to me while pike fishing, I had a large treble hook embedded in my thumb plus it was still attached to a large pike which wouldn't stay still, it was a painful experience I won't forget, my friend managed to get hook off the lure so we could unhook the pike, I took the hook out by turning it and popping the barb back out my skin in a different place then cut off the barb... Ouch
Not sure if anyone has said it yet but wouldn't braid be better? Haha what's one more time asking? Great vid, thanks for sharing and how to make do with what you have on hand.
Não entendo muito, menos sei ingles(muito menos portugues) mas o cara é tão bom e gesticula tanto que entendi como tirar a garateia sem dor(além da que existe). Um aprendizado importante já posso precisar um dia.
Another option. Rather than the line holding the shank down, and the bother of setting that up, just put a finger on the hook shank and press it down onto the victim’s skin, and jerk the business end of your rescue line. A little bit simpler. Good info video though. This trick works.

how dramatic.
Thats awesome
Dude in pain's thought bubble: "Can you stfu and take the hook out!"
😂😂😂
Nah there's no pain anymore at that point :)
I know..... Already healing lol
I'm a doctor in a ER and this technique worked great. Thanks. AND don't pull on "3". Pull on "2". Thanks for sharing this.

Or you can cut his hand off and use it as bait.
Chill lol
shark fishing only
or you can just not fish
"or you can just not fish"
Minus the fact that almost all recreational hobbies, if not all, come with some kind of risk, no matter how trivial....
Lol
This video need to be reposted every week. Chad this is true amazing and real information!
Thank you!
Thanks brother, I appreciate that
OOOOH, that tendon part SKEERED me! But one heck of a job. That was nothing short of AWESOME! The victim was one tough dude I got woozy watching. LOL
Thank you. I was in a bind today. Your vid saved a trip to the emergency room!
Great mentor obviously. Being able to remember this stuff and carry it out with such fluidity is very admirable. Nice work and thanks for the how-to
Nice job

Glad the video helped. Thanks for the comment and for watching
Best hook removal vid I've seen on YT. Now can you bee with me every time I fish just in case i get a hook stuck in me?
Yes, just look this video up. LOL
From the guy that doesn't even have his own UA-cam Channel name. Fraud.
I will add that to our shot list for our next shoot. That is definitely something that we should cover, thanks for the suggestion. - Chad
I followed every step of this tutorial. Not only did I get the hook out but now I speak with a nice Alabama accent.
Ha! That’s perfect
I have been fishing for ten years and have yet to hook myself badly... Now that I am married and my wife comes with me... I have seen more close encounters hahaha.... Will keep this video in my back pocket and I am dreading the day one of us gets hooked! Thanks for the info!
+Gianca C Great idea. I haven't hooked myself (except on purpose) but I have had other people hook me and hook themselves that I have had to remove. Definitely something that fishermen should know and be able to execute.
Gianca C I've been bass fishing for 4 years fishing in general since I was born and I've hooked myself plenty of time
Just wait till you have kids! My son plopped a fish in my lap, promptly hooked me in the thigh. My method was turn it through with pliars, real fast before i realized that it hurt, cut the barb then pull it out. I like this guy's technique better, only 1 hole and he saved the hook!

Understatement at :43
"Chris has got a pretty good hook in his hand."
lol
Hi from 7 years ago!
I've had a hook in my skull (behind my ear) and in the finger joint of my thumb. Both were removed by my Dad using this technique. I never felt pain during either.
not sure where you learned this kinda stuff, but it's really awesome. Great job Chad!
This is EXACTLY why I replaced ALL the trebles with circle hooks....... It also makes the lures almost weedless, and you get to release healthier fish too! But thank you much for sharing because I do still fish with folks that won't make the switch.
One of the best demonstrations I've seen to date. Awesome instruction as usual Chad!
The guy who removed that hook handles that like a gangster. Very good and helpful tips to save a lot of misery from doing it wrong.
awesome vid Chad! Flukemaster is right when he said you're a walking encyclopedia.
This video helped me so I know how to get a hook out when I need it.
This was one of the best VLOGS I ever seen.. Again thank you very much.. Very Very good on how to pull a treble hook out of the hand Just awesome for sure.
Thanks and I am glad you enjoyed it.
Wow! The kind of friend you want on every fishing trip

I also spent hours pulling the fish hook and it only hurts him more and it only got more and more locked too, so I started searching and your demo did not disappoint me. More power to your chanel thank you ..
how big was he also w you for spending so much time trying to help him
That fella knew his stuff and made it look easy.
I had a doctor tell me on 3, 1,2,3.
Ahh What the hell you pulled it on 1!
I wasn’t ready doc.
Good you weren’t suppose to be he reply’s.
OK, so... my Dad always taught us (assuming it's a barbed hook) to push the hook through, snap off the barb and point, then back it out. Does this make sense? Sound right to me, but I've never had to do it. Thanks.
Started with confidence... Slowly started to get nervous about pulling it out... Soon as it was out, confident yet again!!!
Was confident the whole time. Pulled out hundreds, it’s just tougher to video it while having yourself in one kayak, the other Angler in another kayak and then the camera guy in another kayak. Confidence was no problem, coordination, that was another story. Lol
I hope I never need it, but you are one hell of a hook removal expert,
Where were you at when I had the same damn hook in the same damn spot last year....?
Thanks for sharing....I just subscribed to your channel and trying to learn how the ins and outs of Kayak Fishing
Watched this vid A year or two ago and always kept the knowledge in my head and never thought it would happen to me but the other day has to use it to get a treble out of my thigh
Your vids are great. I have learned so much
Thank you. Glad you like them
Great tip have never seen this been done well worth the watch. Thanks
Great technique!! Have had to do it a couple of times. Learned how from Bill Dance show years ago. Again, good job!
The ending was cool lol nice video
Great advice and simple instructions
I love fishing
Like Negan would say: "Takin' it like a Champ!"
Extreme Weather My Man! 👌

He only had 1 part of the trebble hook in him, Another way is to turn the hook push it out of the skin, Cut the barb off, and pull it back through.

Aarons117 . I always take pliers fishing, but I just use them to jank the hook out instead of making another hole.
Chad Hoover I had a treble get stuck in between my pinky and ring finger on my right hand. My wife was in the other kayak. I had her come over and cut the line to my rod. I ended up having to force it through my skin and clip it lol wife was no help haha. I carry a heavy set of wire snippers just for this situation. I tried your way and that sucker was NOT gonna come out. The barb was grabbing too much meat.
I did that and it is so much more painful to push the barb out and cut it off and the hook was only a little size 4 crappie hook
Outstanding! "This trick is going in the tackle box'!
Put several long strands of 65 lb braid in my first aid kit on my boat just in case!
A piece of 80# mono works much better, won't cut you.
Awesome video guys
I went to a doctor's office to get a hook out. He said you don't wanna do it this way because the barb can catch things and rip muscle or tendons on the way out. He said to push the hook through and pop it through the skin then cut the barb then the remaining part of the hook will just slide out without any issue.
Pushing the barb out is the correct way without risking tearing any tendon inside. Use ice to numb the area first, sanitize the hook too.
had one in my finger today hit a tendon but i relaxed the finger and it let loose from the tendon luckily. Nice video.
Barbless is a good approach..... Happy fishing !!
I have a small kit that I usually carry to make doing this easy. For this video, I didn't have it with me and it was nice to show how to improvise. I am filming in Florida this week, so I will shoot a second part of this video where I hook myself and demonstrate how to remove the hook with close ups on the set up.

Great video well done! That same thing happened to me as a kid from a bass I caught that was flopping around, but I ended up going to the hospital!!
Man, Chris is patient!
It works I have done it 2 times comes out easy that's for the tip the first time
Nice job Chad great instruction, thanks.
Bruh what a chad though. didn't even flinch.
👊🏻
Thanks brother
One more reason that I've done my best to eliminate all treble hooks from the kayak. Does that mean I'll never get hooked? Nope, but it reduces the odds. Do I miss some fish because I'm only using single hooks? Probably, but I still have a blast.

I had this happen to me a week or so ago with a Catfish. I pushed the barb through and crimped it down with pliers so I could back it out. I'm wondering if this technique works if you're by yourself?
that is another technique but this looked pretty deep to push through
Yeah, the first time I did this I went to the emergency room and that was a $200 bill. Free if you can get it out yourself. Lol
that was awesome.. it looks bad but that was so simple how you did it.
As always, great video brother!!
Hi. My friend and I went fishing the other day. We had a lot of problems with the fish swallowing the hooks, or in the case where the hook was imbedded in the gill. We were having trouble getting the hook out. We're just beginners, but I've been trying to find a good video of how you are "supposed" to pull the hook out.

This is just Pure Awesomeness!!! 💪💪
Great info, Thank you guys. Fish On!!!
That smooth as silk!!!
Good video. The angle it is embedded might make a difference in technique used. Only one I've had experience with we pushed it on through after cutting the eye off.
worked like a charm
Thanks!
Fish be like: Wanna hang around?
😂😂😂
I am sittting in a hospital with a treble hook stuck in my arm while watching this video
Yeah that was a nice way to pull that hook out thats for sure.... i remember when i was fishing for salt water trout in Australia... we had hooks the size of your index finger when you bend it into a hook shape to use to catch the trout or sweetlip & we had a section of a cars drive shaft as a weight...well i went to drop the loaded rig...so it had multiple hooks on it...but the line spooled off two turns & i didnt see it happen & when i dropped it down the back of the boat it dropped further than it would have normally...end result was that big hook hooking into my finger & i caught the weight to stop it from pulling down further & the skipper saw what happened & as i pulled that weight back onto the boat he cut the line & said...

The moral of the story is...." Keep your eye on the spool.... or you'll end up lookin like a fool :)
I just had this happen to me yesterday on the Caney Fork. I wish I would have known this trick before! I had to push the treble hook back out of my hand so my buddy could cut the bard off with my rusty needle nose. I never want to do that again!
Just had a treble hook snag my left hip. had to push both hooks though and pinch the bard to get out. I tried tugging on it. Didn't work. Maybe I was too wussy to yank it out. But it was on an area FAR more sensitive than my hand.
This happened to me in the middle of nowhere and after a few minutes of sitting there with a hook in my hand, I resolved that I had to push it all the way through my finger and cut the barb off. It took some balls to do it, but it worked. Healed in a few days.
Barbless hooks from now on! That made my toes curl 👍
I seen a video of a hook in someone's eyeball😵
This happened to me while pike fishing, I had a large treble hook embedded in my thumb plus it was still attached to a large pike which wouldn't stay still, it was a painful experience I won't forget, my friend managed to get hook off the lure so we could unhook the pike, I took the hook out by turning it and popping the barb back out my skin in a different place then cut off the barb... Ouch
Love the video 📹
Good video, I personally bend in my barbs so if I get hooked it would slip right out. Sure more fish get away, but damn I hate getting hooked lol
Good tip on the tendon grab!
thats man right there is a fishermans best friend
100% I did this yesterday and it work...
Great technique! Awesome info👍👍thk u
Wow exalent idea good work
Thank you
Not sure if anyone has said it yet but wouldn't braid be better? Haha what's one more time asking? Great vid, thanks for sharing and how to make do with what you have on hand.
Nick Tucker no one else mentioned that
Braid will cut you pretty easily though
Não entendo muito, menos sei ingles(muito menos portugues) mas o cara é tão bom e gesticula tanto que entendi como tirar a garateia sem dor(além da que existe).
Um aprendizado importante já posso precisar um dia.
Thanks for the video because of it I got a jerkbait outta my arm and gotta keep fishing for those wonderful spotted bay bass over here in San Diego CA
not sure why recommended. Glad it was
LEGIT video!!
Another option. Rather than the line holding the shank down, and the bother of setting that up, just put a finger on the hook shank and press it down onto the victim’s skin, and jerk the business end of your rescue line. A little bit simpler.
Good info video though. This trick works.
Huge respect
I just yanked mine out... This would have helped a lot tho it was my finger
Dang , that’s one smart dude !!
Wouldn't a quick jerk with pliers work also?
Ótima dica, parabéns.
Great video!!
