RL-
1. How the hell did you manage that? (Hx)
2. force the barb back through so that it is looped through the skin - barb out. (you can say ouch here)
3. use wire cutters to snip off the barb
4. remove un-barbed remainder of hook
5. scrub thouroughly
6. get a tetanus shot

or go to the Dr. and have the same thing done (2. - 6.) - with anesthesia.
