Thanks for the info that we all hope we never have to use. A friend of mine recently got a hook in the tip of his finger while removing a Lucky Craft from a calico bass. He tried to pull it out with pliers with no success but had a sudden flash of inspiration and tried backing it out while rotating it; basically unscrewing it out of his finger. He said it popped right out with minimal pain. It might be worth a try if all else fails.
Perfect link!
That's one reason to pay attention when you're casting, since that's when severe hook insertions can occur.
Great link!
You might also think about wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes, just so something like this doesn’t happen to you!
on a day boat in san diego I saw a deck hand get hooked by an errant cast right in the cheek. Not a pretty sight, he toughed it out the rest of the day though.
Wearing glasses is a great idea, been teaching my son to cast recently, this could really be a disaster for both of us, thanks.
The only way someone is going to hook themselves bad is if they did not use barbless hooks for catch and release.
