Can't wipe myself.

[rolmops]

That may be just a little bit too much information,but on the other hand...

[flybuster]

Hate when that happens!

[Poles293]

Last time that happened to me I was up in Canada and my dad pried it out with a rusty pair of needle nose pliers. Thank God for Labatt's that hurt like a mother.

I assume you did the honorable thing and kept fishing!      I had a guy with me once at Chincoteaque that gave the rod a good yank in 5' of water, missed the fish, and set the 4/0 hook straight down into his lower lip.  I pulled the minnow off and cut the line and he refused to quit.  After about 1/2 hour of looking at him with a cigarrete in one side of his mouth and a nice silver hook hanging out of the other, I told him we're done and headed in to the doctor.

You could have used the fishing line technique to remove it. I've used it before and it works and doesn't really hurt.

 

Check out this crazy video of it.

 

 

There are lots of videos on Youtube on how to do it.

[Gill-T]

Tried it all... would not budge.

Don't feel "Guilty" about being "hooked". As you said: "you fish long enough....". Hope it heals quickly.

That is in real bad, and without being able to push the end down it wouldn`t come out pulling it very easy. I have done a few, I always cut the other hooks off before trying to pull it out.  After a couple of beers no problem

[Sk8man]

I once had a rapala in my shoulder  (no shirt on) during the summer and fishing all alone. I went into the launch ramp to get some help and there was a guy with two kids I asked him to pull the hook through the skin so I could cut the barb with my wire cutters. He told me he thought he would get sick if he tried. I pulled out my boat and headed to the hospital emergency room and was greeted by a nurse (after filling out papers) and I said "Man...I'm really embarrassed about this...pretty stupid mistake" She responded "Oh....that's not nearly as bad as the guy that was just in here he sat on a big hook with three prongs on it and we had to cut off his pants to get at it....(Honest to God truth).

I stuck a rapala hook into the side of my thumb and out my nail one day last year.

[bout time]

I feel your pain. I took a rapala hook in the finger same as you. It went straight in to the bone. No getting it out alone. Oswego ER and i get the one Dr who has never seen a fish hook before. Shots of novicane a knife and some pliers did the trick. Sore for a week....here's to a quick recovery

[stoutner]

So, How did the doctor get it out? Did it hurt like a SOB?

[Gill-T]

Anesthetic, opened up the hole with hemostats and cowboyed it out.  Worse part was being numb.....even this morning.   

[Diversion]

Ouch.......

[steelydan]

I stuck a rapala hook into the side of my thumb and out my nail one day last year.

me too, only thing was there was a 3lb smallmouth on the other hook!! :doh:

[Rippin'Line]

Mine went through so they clipped the barb off and and slid it back through. Funny thing now is thats my most productive rap. Must be the smell of a fishermans blood. haha

[ray koziatek]

ahh payback...does this hurt ? hmmmph,, are you numb yet hmmmph,ruhuu,,ok you might feel a little prickin sensation AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,opps here let me numb just a tad more....rookaa...retter roww....

[Gill-T]

Ray, I would have you refer to the first picture......notice what finger is extended?  HeHeHe.

[darkfisher]

I feel ya being stuck to a fish Steelydan.  I was attached by the fore arm to a 6Lbs Northern Pike up on the Bay of Quinte.  We where connected by a Husky Jerk.  Talk about a scary moment.

[Kevin J Legg]

I've used the line technique on several occasions and it's worked very well with almost no pain but you do need to be able to push down on the hook to disengage the barb. Perhaps it was to deep to allow you to do this. The worst is when one barb is in you and another in a thrashing fish. Wishing you a rapid recovery!

[stan]

I thought Ray would have come up with something like this
