Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire My Granddaughter Went Fishing

She got caught. They'll probably have to slice this one out. She's a tough little booger. This one's the hunter too. She's lights out on the trigger.

That pic will get her some "street cred"
Hope she's ok.

Stick her had in ice for a few minutes and numb it . She's tough .

That will come out easier than you think, just google hook removal, that trick of putting a loop of line around the shank and holding the eye down tight , a quick but stiff jerk and out they come.

Wow! Smiling about a hook in her hand!? The boys in her class will love it 😳

Look up how to remove a hook from your hand. Hard to type it all but you look yarn or line around the hook and press down on the eye of the hook, pushing the barb out of the meat of your hand and pop it comes out

Getting hooked is a rite of passage started long ago it seems.

It is ageless.

Hope she gets thru fast.

Luckily kids heal quickly.

this is what i do then push it through cut the barb off

Holy smoke that’s a tough kid 😎 Congrats.

This will work, lots of videos on youtube.

So, the newest "Captain Hook"?

She has a nickname if she wants it.

Tough young lady - she's even trying to give you a high five. Attagirl!

This one is deep and in the muscle or tendon. That complicates matters. They are going to let the doctors handle it.

Works like a charm. I've had two removed that way.

Mine did too, but it only caught her hair. Hope getting that out didn’t hurt her too bad!

All things considered that's a great picture.

I've taken a couple out of my kid like that, use Ice and push it through, cut the barb of and pull it back. As a mater of fact I did a couple (OK maybe more)on myself while out fishing because I knew if I went home to Ma she'd make me quit fishing for the day, I wanted none of that!

I have used the string method and the push thru cut-off barb many many times—lots of times give them a good shot of whiskey grab the pliers and just yank it out.
But thats’s still a little girl—take her to a real doctor.

I was wondering if that was the case, the string method doesn't work so well if they are deep like that. I had a buddy that got a treble hook deep in his hand like that, took three hard yanks to get it out and there was a lot of cussing and swearing at the boat dock. Lol

That’s one tough young lady.

I’ve been known to pinch barbs when not fishing for money or survival, my German Shorthair pup appreciated my forethought when he decided to investigate a flatfish that I’d hung up on my rear view mirror. 😁

I’m sure she’ll pull through just fine and a little extra “babying” probably goes a long way.
