When the deadliest catch is your own finger: how to remove a fish hook
Summer is upon us. So I thought this would be an appropriate post.
While some of you may not need this post, I suck at fishing. I am about as graceful casting with a fly rod as a bull in a china store. (Henry says no one has been to a china store since 1900. Maybe a bull in a Chihuly glass art exhibit is a more hip/modern metaphore?) Anyways, point is, I get a lot of fish hooks stuck in my hand.
If you can’t just pull the thing out (which sometimes you can), the problem is that the barb on the end of the hook is doing its job.
