I'm not advocating his methods, but anyone that fishes should become familiar with hook removal DO'S N DON'TS..
As an aside, In the ER of the Fisherman's Hospital, Marathon Fl is a large display of extracted lures. Very Large Display.
More than a couple times I have had to extract Flies from ears, noses, necks, & cheeks.
Standing order for my skiff is "NO BARBS" on any hooks..
Saves my ears from the yelling and screaming..
This picture is from a Canadian ER..
YMMV
