OUCH. I would cut he shank, push the barb through and remove.

Yeah. Be prepared for pain. I got hooked in the back once just below the shoulder blade. Went to the emergency room. The Doc just grabbed the hook with pliers and yanked. No lidocaine, no nothing. It was over quick but it sure smarted.

I’ve been hooked a couple times and just pulled it out. None of them were really bad though.

Had a little Hybrid Striped Bass shake his head & bury one of the hooks of a treble hook in the side of my thumb and under the thumbnail. Couldn't use the "line yank" method (didn't really know how or trust doing it), so I iced it down as best I could & wiggled it loose enough to yank it out. Wrapped it with a band-aid & went on fishing. My fishing buddy was no help, as he's kinda hemophobic (can't stand blood).

Same fishing buddy of mine sunk a crank treble (1 hook) into the top of his brother's head. I pushed it thru and clipped off the point/barb and pulled it back out. We finished fishing with no further incidents.

Man up and yank out method for me also. Hooked the farmers Bull with a rattle trap on the back cast years ago. Mean thing would sneak up on you and bump you into the pond. I got him that time. Baited him up with some bread and yanked it out with pliers. He didn't sneak up on me anymore
For me personally it seems to be no difference in the pain weather you push through and cut off or yank it out

First make sure you don’t have the barb around a tendon , then decide if it’s a shorter distance to push thru or yank it out.
