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.
