Fishing is generally a pleasant and unpainful pastime (at least if you’re fishing in freshwater for small fry). But one hazard that can befall the fisherman when he’s bringing in a line or untethering his catch is getting a hook stuck in his finger. If this happens to you, you can use one of the above techniques to get the hook out.<\/p>\n

The String Yank Technique can’t be performed on parts of the body that aren’t attached (e.g., earlobe, nostril). And if the hook is stuck in your eye, don’t try to remove it yourself with either of these methods! Go to the emergency room immediately.<\/p>\n
