Everytime the wife puts her tackle box on the coffee table in the living room, I know (from experience) that I have to go over the area after she's done with a flashlight to get up all the loose string, sinkers, hooks, etc. that gets dropped in the carpet.
Well, this morning, I was outside doing some stuff and she comes hobbling to the door saying she needs help . . . . . It couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. (to drive my point home).
I've removed a few hooks from flesh in my time. Some from my own self LOL.
I used the "push down and jerk back" method.
At first, I thought about wiggling it around and pushing it through with eye attached just to teach her a lesson - but, gave it a 2nd thought......
It wasn't my hand that it went in but it was Johnny's..... We were in Alabama 40 pound or somehow got it in his finger he had a double hook rig.... Needless to say I dropped him and Chris off and they went to the clinic the doctor had to send Chris after bolt cutters because his pliers would not cut the hook..... True story... And I caught 25 lb blue while they were gone
