For those of you familiar with El Famoso (Harry O) I helped remove a hook from his arm today. He was very brave and didn't cry once. I'm buying a
cheap bolt cutter. The lineman's pliers don't wok as well on big galvanized trebles.

About 35 years ago, I was halibut fishing in Piller Point Harbor and I stuck a 4/0 treble hook in the exact same part of the hand as the last picture.

Hell, those aren't too bad, not that I'd like to have them done to me.
I watched my dad over the years deal with several of these "situations".
Except for the first and last pics, all the barbs are already pierced through. Cut 'em off and back out the barbless part. Not difficult.
But let all us fishermen look closely and remember these pics. We try to avoid this from happening. So take the right precaution when you're
handling your gear, and be aware of any idiot around you who doesn't demonstrate they know what the hell they're doing. Beware of those guys!

I think I read this on BD: take your 12" bolt cutters, spray them with WD40 or equal and then vacuum seal them. they will stay unrusted in your boat
for a long time until you need them.

I had to perform minor Surgery on a friend that sat on a big trebel hook .We were about 10 miles out in the Gulf of Mx.and just started the day I was
not ready to come in.
He was alwright with removing the hook but really got upset because I cut up his Coveralls.

Definitely. A hook that goes through completely and comes out the other side is much preferable to one that's just buried. Backing out a buried hook
requires cutting open a path for the barb. Thank God Beto had local anesthesia when he was doing it.

I don't know about #4... looks like the bur was cut off and the hook is just laying in his hand with some Tapati'o hot sauce poured all around it....

Mr JP......can you please be more specific about this model #9 Klein plier?
I see many #9 models on Amazon and want one!!
But I am unsure which one would be the ticket for cutting though large fish hooks, such as those pictured above??
Can you provide assurance, as a seasoned lineman, that these #9 models will in fact, cut through a big size hook.....say a 6/0 designer model,
commonly named "Gorilla" hooks.
I am also looking into more common "bolt cutters" but those might be tough to use one handed (if fishing alone) if that hook is occupying one hand.

Here are the ways to remove a hook. I have used the line around a base on 8-0s with success. There are a bunch of YouTube on it.
