Removing a fish hook from a fish is an essential skill for any angler. A fish hook can cause serious injury to a fish if not removed properly. There are a few different ways to remove a fish hook, depending on the type of hook and where it is located.
The most common type of fish hook is the single-barb hook. To remove a single-barb hook, simply hold the fish firmly in one hand and use the other hand to gently push the hook back through the fish’s mouth. The barb will catch on the inside of the fish’s mouth and the hook will come out easily.
