Don't do it, Carleigh! Push the hook through, don't pull it out. If you've got a way to cut the eye or the barb side off, do that, but, if not, it's still less painful to pull a rounded thing through than the barb. Leaving it in for 20 hours was certainly more painful and risky than just pushing it through would have been. It sucks, but everybody who's done a lot of fishing has had to do it, I think?I feel so bad for her, but...I think now we know she was just kinda lucky the first time.
