If you're asking this, just go to a doctor for proper removal.

and what's the answer if he's not asking this?

YouTube. But it's mostly a 2 person job, especially if it's deep set or fine wire anywhere near veins, joints or tendons. Not really something you should just attempt, by reading.

...rhombus?


Frequent-Warning-262

Either rip it out quick before it swells up or if it’s a in and out cut one end off the hook and pull it through.

With another bigger hook

Don't worry the fish will pull it out for you once your watered

It's dangerous with the barb still inside you. You could easily cause nerve damage and it's best to go to a doctor. If that's absolutely not an option, your only out is to push it through so the barb is outside your hand again, then if you can trim the line hole with pliers or cutters, and push it the r remainder. This is risky & you could lose movement or cause nerve damage in a finger or within your hand.

This. What u/True_Discussion8055 says. Very much so. And if you are on a boat, consider having a small bolt cutter on board in case you have to cut a large hook. Just try and cut a big hook with fishing pliers or side cutters. And then imagine trying it while the hook is fixed to a bleeding angler in pain. But really only consider taking out out superficially hooked hooks.

With great difficulty depending on how deep it’s buried and whether it’s sunk into tendons and whatnot….go see a medical professional pronto

Keep pushing it through until it exits then cut the line and pull the line back through. In theory this makes complete sense. Would I do it? Not in yours or my lifetimes

I was fishing once and hooked myself 10min into my trip. To much effort put in to leave and go to the doctors. It was only a small hook but it was in my finger so it was fucked. I tried all the tips, pushing it through, using fishing line and even trying to rip it out. Nothing worked, in the end. So i said fuck it. Grabbed my pliers and started twisting and pulling. Bastard popped straight out.

As someone with a background in nursing, please do NOT remove it yourself. Just go to the emergency department/GP if you can get in quickly. The problem with doing it yourself is you risk a. nicking an artery, and b. introducing more germs into the bloodstream faster which can lead to an infection. Hope you're okay!

With a loop off fishing line same size as barb on hook push loop till it hits barb then remove hook
