This is true: my brother hooked himself in the lip trout fishing at Mountain Home....drove himself to the ER. Dr. says "I can either deaden it, which will hurt like hell, cut off the barb, then dig it out...or jerk it out with string". Brother's eyes almost fell out of their sockets, but the Dr. swore jerking would be faster & hurt less. He let him do the jerk method, was out in 5 minutes & back to fishing. Side note: Dr. asked him if he could have the lure, then took him back to his office. There he showed him his big cork board full of lures he's taken out of fishermen--they went from dry flies to 8" striper lures! My brother's is the small Rapla on the lower left
