Just might do everyone good to learn the hook out trick with fishing line. As I understand it, you take a length of fishing line mabye a foot or so (so you can get a good grip on it), loop it around the bend of the hook, now you press down on the eye of the hook as far as you can, then after taking a turn or two around your hand with the loose line, you yank back on the fishing line. The hook will pop right out (so says Bill Dance), but that guy falls out of the boat a lot too. :p LOL Really, this does work.:D
