Where did you find those?

[How To Remove A Hook]

Holy christ! i couldnt imagine doing that when i had one stuck in my finger

(pic for those that may not have seen)

I was told not to pull on it incase there is a nerve or something near it that you may damage?

That hook was on a mates line, i was removing it from a fish to release it, and when i did he pulled on the rod which sent the hook into my finger.

At hospital they gave the finger an anthistetic, then sliced a bit so it would come out.

I felt like an idiot siting there at the hospital with a hook and a length of fishing line hanging of my hand

Carpe, I will give that method ago if it ever hapens again, if it avoids puting an end to a fishing trip, and a 4 hour hospital wait, i dont care how many nerves i damage!!

[What Is Your Worst Ever Fishing Trip?]

I go to port hacking every saturday, and also take days off during the week, my worst time was geting this hook in my finger, and had to go to hospital to get it removed!!

[Kings In Port Hacking]

I was in the hacking on saturday arvo, came across a 1 meter flathead on a small rod and reel combo, i pulled the line in by hand, but he choped the line with his teeth as he got to the side of the boat, bigest thing i have seen in there !!
