When pushing the hook through, get some resistance on the other side. I have seen an apple used before to good effect, as you are pushing it against something semi solid, so your skin doesnt stretch as much = more pain...
I crush my barbs when fishing from a kayak after hearing another kayak fisherman's story of hooking himself in the back and getting hooked to his kayak seat.
Great video, I can relate! Got one treble in the side of my finger once as my kayak accidentally slid down a hill and I tried to catch it! Turns out a lot of nerves in there lol. You did a lot better than I did, way to stay calm and collected and cheers for even smiling about it!
Handled that like a champ Johnny. Such a good idea keeping those cutters in the box. Heard it pop back through haha. You did so well to take good care of that grunter too.
0:34 that moment your brain catches up with the fact you have caught a fish and yourself. Last time I did that was on a thumper whiting and 95 Splash prawn with 2 of 3 hooks in the heel of my palm. Punching the hook through was excruciating. Loving the videos John. My young blokes get up each morning to check if you have uploaded a new one.
Good job mate, never a great feeling, even worse when ya young fella gets stung with a couple of trebles. lipgrips and plyers, I have learnt the hard way myself. Love ya work John!
Been there, done that. Haha. It absolutely sucks during the process but all you can do is smile after it's out. All part of the memories mate. Well done!
Your much more stoic than me. I did the same after hooking the wiggliest Bluebone some year's ago with no pliers or tools. 40c heat and about a K from my fishing mate on the beach. Never forget that one.
I've been self hooked twice, the first time was one the water in my Yak, it was winter here in vic so it was freezing and i just pulled the 5/0 out with very little pain, but the next was one of my offshore lures still connected to the rod and when I picked it up it slipped and the big treble went into my finger, just like you I now carry 2 types of cutters in my car boot just for hook removal, I found removing the hook from the lure can make it far easier to remove the hook in ones self, I just remembered another, this was a subiki they are so hard to pull out you just have to push them through.
Well done. Got a treble in my hand out at the Perth fads about 7 years ago, right in the middle of my palm, underneath but not penetrating the tendon / ligament of my ring finger. 6 hours and a local later, and she was ripped out and medicated at my doctors suggestion of a solid intake of piss and cones for the next 12 hrs, then sorted. Lots of swell and the boat slamming around for a good hour and a half on the way home and I was well over it.
Johnny Johnny, will just leave it a that mate. so pleased u had a set of bolt cutters. for me in the boat a permanent set of ratchet side cutters and for land base i carry a set. everyone who has lure fished has had this happen. hope all is well.
So many videos on UA-cam about how to hook fish but not many about how to unhook a human. This is likely to happen to all of us if we fish long enough. Unfortunately I’ve had it happen to me more times than I would like to remember. The worst time being four of the nine barbs from a 7 inch Rapala. The air was blue that night. If you have someone with you it can be much easier to deal with. I always try to take the hook off the lure and use the quick pull out method. It’s a good reminder to carry cutters and a first aid kit with you in the boat.
I've always managed to push down on the barb and pull the hook back out from where it came. Hurts like a hell but the pop as it comes out is the most amazing endorphin rush of all time 🤣
That hurt to watch John... A trick I was shown & have used a few times with great success is to loop some heavy mono around the bend of the hook & either have someone hold the line or tie it off as it has to be taut. The next step is to tap down hard on the taut line with a heavy screwdriver or similar & the hook just pops out barb & all, the same way it went in. It’s like magic how well this works & with minimal pain or damage.
Us lads have all done it mate! Stood on a treble after a decent dogtooth tuna spat it! Now I run singles only 😂, nabbed by a fish that isn’t quite finished in the finger or hand! Feel that pain! Its like standing on your kids lego in the dark! You did well brother! “I want Jack” best call! So good to see your travels mate! Good and bad! Keep em coming!! 🤙🏻
Mate, I've been hooked and it's surprising how tough your skin actually is! Trying to push the hook through your skin, I was not as quick as you and had to use plires to push down the skin on the other side of the hook to get the hook all the way through. But I did it the same way you did. Hats off to you, doing it so fast!
Damn John! I’ve had to do the same. For some reason they seem to go in so easy and are much harder to push through. I hope it’s ok and didn’t get to infected.
Great video champion, what do you do if it can't be pushed through , i had a single hook go into my hand below the finger after a eel got wrapped in the wire trace and wrapped up my hand after removing the hook and i got caught by the hook as it twisted, and had to get it surgically removed, luckily my friend put his foot on its head stopping it from tearing the skin, i have seen the removing method using braid to yank the hook out but had no luck as it was in the tendon, love how cool and relaxed you kept, i was freaking out , bought back bad memories , but great video,
Hey John it's not if.. it's when.. it happens to all us.. it's like victory at sea..be prepared and you won't have to go to plan C..love your vids and humour son.. keep it up
Just got a treble hook in my leg today unfortunately didn’t have anything to just the barb off with so I ran into the hospital quick but definitely work to keep some kind of cutters with you and not just pliers
I've always carried something to cut hooks. When I was a kid I was tying a knot and it slipped end got myself in the lip. Lucky we had side cutters to cut the eye off a bait holder hook and push it through.
yeah mate, no fun hooking yourself. I've been fishing for over 40 years and just last year during a hot whiting bite I ended up with a hook in my arm. Just missing that big vein they take blood out of. Amazing how they go in so easy but when you try and push em through they just don't want to pierce the skin. Some decent cutters are a must, never thought I'd have that happen to me. Great vid
I couldn't imagine having to do that to myself Johnny but when there's no other option... you got to do, what you got to do. So glad that Grunter didn't go nuts when you let go of it to hit the spot lock, makes that saying you have seem not so funny in this instance, "Jack fishing it hurts so good".
I HAVE A PAIR in both my bream and bass bag John, last year had to show the team at Redcliffe Hospt, how to remove a hook and they were great full. No fun buddy. Cheers Chris
Happens to the best of us. Happened to me to the point where barb had gone right through and came out the other side of my hand and stupidly we tried a few different methods to yank it out in reverse. LOL....Didn't come out. Then we realised that it would be much smarter if we just snipped the hook and out it came- as you did. Ahhh good times!!!
Been there I had to push mine thru thumb was on my own too then try cutting the treble off when it in your right hand and your right handed less strength
You can use a piece of braided line and hold it at a certain angle and the hook will pull right out. I've seen it done with a massive treble hook and couldn't believe it. Tacticalbassin have a video on it
Just got hooked with a crank bait today it going in doesnt hurt much pushing it through the other side is what hurts so bad especially if you have tough skin
I feel your pain the only time i have been hooked by a treble i got one point stuck in my thumb one in my index finger and one in my middle finger when a carp decided to take my bass lure fishing for Australian bass it wasn't fun at all
Funny thing is I used that same one got hooked in Perth Australia I was on a trip with my dad and I tugged to get the fish out it hooked my finger half way thru
I don't know how you managed to keep your language clean, but I appreciate that as I clicked on your video to show my 7yo what to do & carry so she can earn her fishing badge.
🎣 I had one large hook of a trebble deep in the heel of my hand, towards the palm, i had to pull it out, which tore out! I squeezed the blood out to avoid potential infection! ... Still seems unreal to me, ... 🎣
the first time i caught a fish on one of those treble hook lures i wondered how the heck people safely get them out of the fish while they're flailing around. everytime i hooked a bass or something they'd flip around and hook themselves again with the other treble. never got comfortable fishing those lures because of removal lol
Bloody hell john ……what where you thinking 💭 lmao 🤣 we have all been there before some of us even shared a tear I’m sure of it……I upgraded my cutters after I saw RoKKiT KIT get a massive hook in his finger lol
Mate rokkit's hook in the finger was GNARLY, and attached to the thrashing end of a tuna no less. First time I've ever seen the man swear and for good reason 😨
@@jappojappy I know right he’s one of the nicest guys I have met ……and yes I have never heard him curse before lol but if that was me I would of cursed like a sailor and maybe cry a little lol …..maybe cry for my mommy too …….and maybe get and old priest and a young priest 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Also John, can you please show me how your gopro is attached around your neck? Great camera shots from there.. Hope you don't mind me stealing your idea.. Your hands don't get in the way of the film. 👍👌
haha just got one from 55cm lure in my finger few days ago. it sure does hurt. not long enough to go all the way through with the barb. so ripped it back out with the barb the way it went in. good times!
As cool and calm as can be mate not a single swear word either 💪🏼I bought a mini set of those bolt cutters for special occasions like that after a 90 cm Jew pinned me with a 9/0 through the palm solo beach fishing best $12 ever spent
I went fishing 2 days ago and it was like my 3rd time, I hooked myself in the ring finger, but it was like 2mm before I would've had the re-hook in my finger, so I could just pull it out, still hurt :D
I cut the treble at the base and push it all the way through. Many of the lures I use have smaller trebles and doing it your way would be almost impossible.
I did it on Frazer at the start of the yr..couldnt get it out. Ambo on the island had it out in minutes thank christ else i was going another with a treb in my thumb cause i wasn't leaving.
It should be standard procedure to crush the barbs, not only in case you do exactly this but It’s kinder to the fish, yes you might lose the odd fish but it’s worth it in the long run.
I did this to my thumb the other day just tying it on the line... Worst part is I play guitar so I have a lot of callus. It took all of my strength and willpower to push it back out. Then, to make things worse, I only had the little side cutters on my fishing pliers to clip it with. No easy task…
I like how this dude just gets hooked in the hand then just calmly gives us a how to get it out like he was completely fine😂
I mean he was completely fine. It’s just the pain.
When pushing the hook through, get some resistance on the other side. I have seen an apple used before to good effect, as you are pushing it against something semi solid, so your skin doesnt stretch as much = more pain...
Mate thank you. That’s brilliant advice ;) good to know
I crush my barbs when fishing from a kayak after hearing another kayak fisherman's story of hooking himself in the back and getting hooked to his kayak seat.
that sound like a bad time 🤣

Much respect mate, definitely a what not to do situation all while showing a what to do if you were in this situation 👍🏾 good stuff
Been there, done that. Haha. It absolutely sucks during the process but all you can do is smile after it's out. All part of the memories mate. Well done!
Your much more stoic than me. I did the same after hooking the wiggliest Bluebone some year's ago with no pliers or tools. 40c heat and about a K from my fishing mate on the beach. Never forget that one.
Hahaaa. So hectic mate. The tension is real when u see that barb buried eh
thats my worst nightmare ever,its good to see you have taken care of that well john
Really good advice mate and as always, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻👍🏼
It doesn’t matter how carful you are if your on the water enough this stuff happens.
Good outcome mate 👌🏻Good hooks those 😉
I've been self hooked twice, the first time was one the water in my Yak, it was winter here in vic so it was freezing and i just pulled the 5/0 out with very little pain, but the next was one of my offshore lures still connected to the rod and when I picked it up it slipped and the big treble went into my finger, just like you I now carry 2 types of cutters in my car boot just for hook removal, I found removing the hook from the lure can make it far easier to remove the hook in ones self, I just remembered another, this was a subiki they are so hard to pull out you just have to push them through.
Handled it like a champ mate, very nice
Lol,now that's a fisho,one that doesn't let a hook get in the way of his session.Awesome!
i love how hes so calm
Well done. Got a treble in my hand out at the Perth fads about 7 years ago, right in the middle of my palm, underneath but not penetrating the tendon / ligament of my ring finger. 6 hours and a local later, and she was ripped out and medicated at my doctors suggestion of a solid intake of piss and cones for the next 12 hrs, then sorted. Lots of swell and the boat slamming around for a good hour and a half on the way home and I was well over it.
PS wish those barbs were crushed that day
Johnny Johnny, will just leave it a that mate. so pleased u had a set of bolt cutters. for me in the boat a permanent set of ratchet side cutters and for land base i carry a set. everyone who has lure fished has had this happen. hope all is well.
Dead set held my breath all through that , bloody painful when they're in . 😬
What's the lure Johnny? Looks great, kinda a timber squirrel.

You took that like a champ, better man than me
Exact same thing happend with a family member.Made a good trip to the E.R.Be carful out their.
Buggar! That hurts. Good to have done cutters nearby. Great work. 😃👍🐟🐟
geez im feeling it i bought a pair of these only weeks ago for this exact possibility. money well spent
Us lads have all done it mate! Stood on a treble after a decent dogtooth tuna spat it! Now I run singles only 😂, nabbed by a fish that isn’t quite finished in the finger or hand! Feel that pain!

Sharper hooks probably

Had to do this in my face the other day LoL 😂
lucky I remembered this video, pulled it through n sniped the barb off. 👍🏻

So glad that Grunter didn't go nuts when you let go of it to hit the spot lock, makes that saying you have seem not so funny in this instance, "Jack fishing it hurts so good".
Ouch..... been there done that a couple of times.
Looks like a small price to pay for such an epic adventure.

Did you throw the lure away into the water?

I this did exact sameeeee thing but in my foot but also with a supperrrrrrrrr bigger hook like this is nothing
🎣 I had one large hook of a trebble deep in the heel of my hand, towards the palm, i had to pull it out, which tore out!
I squeezed the blood out to avoid potential infection! ...
Still seems unreal to me, ... 🎣
Bloody hell !!! you did that without swearing ! (or was that eddited out?),,my nuts were tingaling watching that.
the first time i caught a fish on one of those treble hook lures i wondered how the heck people safely get them out of the fish while they're flailing around. everytime i hooked a bass or something they'd flip around and hook themselves again with the other treble. never got comfortable fishing those lures because of removal lol
Ever thought about going barbless ?
Bloody hell john ……what where you thinking 💭 lmao 🤣 we have all been there before some of us even shared a tear I’m sure of it……I upgraded my cutters after I saw RoKKiT KIT get a massive hook in his finger lol

Got it in the arm.
Had to push it through and cut off the barb to get it out.
The sooner the better.
Before you have too much time to think about it.
Also John, can you please show me how your gopro is attached around your neck? Great camera shots from there.. Hope you don't mind me stealing your idea.. Your hands don't get in the way of the film. 👍👌

pushing that though my god id of shed a tear HAHAH
Yes, hard core!!!! Fish on
lol never handle trebles like that happened to me with both in my thumb under the nail
Is that the jollip 80D twitch in jack attack colour ?
Yes mate ;)
I went fishing 2 days ago and it was like my 3rd time, I hooked myself in the ring finger, but it was like 2mm before I would've had the re-hook in my finger, so I could just pull it out, still hurt :D
feels like that grunter was lol'ing! ouch, yeah that bloody hurts, done that myself...
mine was in my pinky and i couldnt deal with that pain it your crazy man that shit hurts so bad
I push it through then cut it off at the treble side than push it out. Only had to do it once !
Mate I know your pain ive done exactly the same thing brings back memories
Good advice we have all been there at some point haha
I crush barbs always on lures. No tools required to remove and pain free. I’ve only done it once to myself.
I’m gonna have to make the change at some stage. I used to do it for my bass lures. Should make it happen now the hood are bigger
Hooks.
What lure is that red one mate lol
I cut the treble at the base and push it all the way through. Many of the lures I use have smaller trebles and doing it your way would be almost impossible.
Definitely no fun John, good idea to push those barbs down mate .
i feel your pain ive been hooked lol
Dude that guy is well….. unless he was purposely trying to hook himsef. He just griped that crankbait
I did it on Frazer at the start of the yr..couldnt get it out. Ambo on the island had it out in minutes thank christ else i was going another with a treb in my thumb cause i wasn't leaving.

Mate that must have been hectic as!! Crazy solid effort to cut through with ya pliers cutters
Mate what's the size of the bolt cutter?
Hi mate. They’re about 250mm long. I’m sorry I’m not 100% on the sizing. We are away from our gear for a few days otherwise I woulda dug Em out
@@mylurebox Thanks Mate 👍
My worst nightmare for sure, as being a fisherman. One day it will get me, at least I know what to do when it does happen.
I’ve been there. That sucks!
Two weeks later, his balls developed massive barnacles and set a world record for the heaviest sack.
It’s easy to cut at base of hook and thread it through
Dude just grabbed the entire bait 😂
Ouch! 🤕
Así como tu hay muchos pescadores q levantan su presa d la manera incorrecta sigan así y eso les pasará..!
Why are you trowing the bait in the lake?
did the same shit to myself today, like it went all the way through and came through another side on its own so i didnt have to push it in myself
It hurt watching this video and the fish flipping around made it worse . Positive attitude !!!
At least you now know how the fish feel right 😳
Not rlly they don’t feel anything 😂
BOSS!
