This right here is why I only use barbless hooks. Easy to just slide out. I also haven't successfully landed a fish in 12 years.

I like how he even tricks him self by staying he will put it out on 3 😂 One two 😅

So this just happened to me about 5 minutes ago. I panicked and went right to the KZread. This video may just be the best I’ve ever seen, worked like a charm thanks Richard.

I was fishing in the pond behind my house this morning and got hooked in the thumb. After much pain from getting the fish off and cutting the lure loose I came inside and did a search on KZread on how to remove a hook. I've been a fan of this channel for years so it was great to see Richard's video pop up first. I followed the procedure and got the hook out with one quick pop of the line. Thanks for sharing this video Richard!

Very sorry you got hooked..but had to laugh at the way you yanked early.. like you were working on someone else to catch em off guard...and on the count a 3 we’re gonna jerk it out 1,2..Yank! 😂 Love your videos! 🎣 God Bless

I'm amazed how calm you are after being hooked badly. Im here because i just got hooked earlier and I screamed out loud 😅

That was painful to watch but very educational. Thank you.

My wife just said your the Bob Ross of fishing. And she hearts you. Whatever all tha means. Your the best Richard!!

You handled that exceptionally well. I remember seeing that trick on an old Bill Dance show.

Left a like on the video. You handled that like a man. I don't think you even swore. I couldn't make a video like this I would have to re record the audio later to avoid the loud repeated swearing.

Hard ole boy right there.

Now that's straight up good knowledge every body who fishes needs to watch this. That looks easier than pushing the barbs through cutting them off and pulling it out. Thanks for this video mr. Gene

Richard, you are so CALM, COOL, AND COLLECTED!!!!…..You make FONZY LOOK LIKE RICHEY CUNNIGHAM!.....

God bless you Sr. That's what I need to do next time last time. I learn something new. Thanks.

Richard you are the man! I had to call my wife in to re-watch this with me. Super human stuff

you are a tough man RG. glad that you brought us this vid. also glad that you didnt hook yourself on purpose to show us how to remove a fish hook like i have seen some other dummies do on you tube. tough and SMART!

No fish hook can stop the Machine! Good job yankin that sucker out and awesome tip for new and even experienced anglers.

Thanks mate - just hooked myself and was considering a long ride into town but you saved the day! The pull out really didn't hurt much more than the hook being in there! Agree on doing it fast - at first I couldn't feel anything but within a minute or so it does start to hurt

The Machine. TUFF! This is what i call a 5 star video. The wisdom you just passed on will save myself(more than likely) and anyone else that might use this technique in the future alot of pain and suffering ! Stuck my hands and fingers a many of times ,it happens if you fish, But i never have seen it done this way before. I wish more you tubers would post things like this instead of pushing merch all the time and doing challenges. All fishing videos are awesome but there are a whole lot of people who where never shown how to fish but would love to try and alot of those people ,when they do decide they would like to give our most wonderful sport in the world a try, they look to you tube to learn a few things and i think Gene uses this channel in the best way possible . Having fun and passing his wisdom on. We Holston river bronze back hunters salute you MACHINE. thanks

Shoot!! Richard that hurt me to watch my friend. Took it like a champ, and thanks for the tip on how to remove a hook. I really enjoy watching all your videos. I tell my wife all the time how I'd love to go fishing with you.. Maybe one of these days. God Bless

Lord this man is tougher then steel! Ain't no way I could jerk a hook out like that without getting teary eyed haha much love Richard gene

Youuuuuuu the man!!! God knows how many times that has happened to me. Your way is a bit faster but works. Thanks foe the tip 👊👍🎣😎

I’m going to keep that trick in my back pocket, and hope I do need to use it very often - Thanks for the info.

I have done the same thing. The other option, which I prefer, is to push the barb back out through the finger, clip the hook past the barb, and then slide the hook without the barb out. I am afraid that ripping out the barb the way you did will damage more tissue. I could be wrong; but, it's my preferred method.

Great teaching moment!! Save you a whole bunch of money 💴 Doctor Richard Gene.

RR ….. RAMBO RICHARD !!! A true fisherman. I snagged my buddy's ear, years ago, while fly fishing. Took me longer to catch him than it did for you to "get 'er done"

Been a while since I "Seen-r-Done" like that Bro. Richard... I saw Hank Parker do it and "Mr. Tn. Vol.," (referring to the hat he wears) aka or better known as Bill Dance do that deal. I cut a treble hook out of a friends bare back, in Vancleave, Ms., back in the 90's. Had the filet knife handy, put just a little upward pressure on the hook, barely touched the knife to the skin and out it came. He said he did not feel the knife at all. Thank you for sharing sir. I believe the others preferred to use braided line, because of little to no stretch.

You'd have had to bleep out 15 minutes of video if that were me haha I admire your calm demeanor after burying one of those R2S hooks in your thumb. They do have some tough components. Great videos. Been a long time subscriber and I enjoy every video.

You are the man.TUFF IS THE WORD

That literally happened to my friend last time we were out fishing, but he got two barbs embedded. I told him about the trick you showed, as I'd seen it done on a TV fishing show many years ago. He wasn't interested and pushed them through and I helped flatten the barbs so he could back them out. The crazy part, was that he had mentioned it had been a few years since it had happened to him on the drive to the lake! Lucky I've only gotten 1 barb deep on the hand over the year, got stuck many times but fortunately they didn't go past the back of the barb. I also usually net my fish or if I boat flip them, I usually don't grab them out of the air, especially for fish species that typically thrash around unexpectedly! Lots of worse places to get a barb than in the hand.

This was me last week in my dominant thumb with a chunky smallie on the other treble. Needless to say you handled it much calmer than i did 😂

Again......fantastic teaching.

Dang Richard, I believe you could go bear huntin with a switch😂

Last time I saw someone mess with their finger like that, it was John Wick.

You are more calm about this than if you’d spilled your coke. Nice work showing us the trick to get out!

This is why your the best fishing channel

Grrrr....my mouth would not have allowed any piece of this video to be uploaded if it were me! Good job!

Thanks helped me remove a hook myself instead of a trip to the dr.

Been there, done that. This is a great method. Count to 3 . 1. 2pull. 3. Quick and easy.

Thanks for making that video you helped

Dang! Richard you the man sir!

Thanks for the tip. Helpful advice.

Gamakatsu Hooks are always the sharpest out there. They never failed and it is the only brand I use.

Love your positivity man !! Hahhaha

Holy smokes. You quick and easy. I'm still waiting for the EASY part. I've been hooked on the fingers, hands, shoulder and even the back of my head. The finger and hands were my faults. The shoulder and back of the head were due to another fisherman. It's a lot easier if the barb makes a circle under the skin and comes back out. You can cut the barb off and the rest of the hook will just slide out. I've had to do something very similar but I just grabbed it with some pliers and ripped it out. When it's straight down, your options are kind of limited.

Ouch!!!! Richard, thanks for your candid videos. You’re the real deal. I wish I knew this trick when I hooked my thumb last spring. The Dr. $$ practically did the same thing. Lol. God bless....

Hey RG! These are very motivational I really love your content.

Richard your the man!!!!

Oh my goodness!! Dang, you are the man!

Time saver. It feels better than it hurts.

My palms got sweaty and my toes curled up right when Richard started gripping the string before the countdown😅😓😬😵

CHILLS Brother, just plain old CHILLS!!

Thanks for posting this video!!

RollTide. I jumped when you pulled that hook out. But absolutely the right technique

OUCH!! 🥵 Thanks, Richard.

Good info, thank you! Next 2 days my Miss Tammy(wife & best friend) and I are going after some catfish and maybe a few crappie. I'm pretty sure I'll need this info because I seem to be a hook magnet. lol

I got to say that was impressive first of all no cursing or carrying on! I don't think many/any other KZreadrs would have been able to do that. but I am confused as to what the difference between wrapping the fishing line around the hook and yanking it out was versus just taking a pair of pliers and yanking it out did you wrap the fishing line in a way that made the barbed not tear out the meat? Normally I would have just pushed it through and cut the Barb off but it looks like it was stuck in your knucklebone almost? GawwLee!!! You are the man. I sure wish you could fishing with my son and i . We have so much to learn.

Great info thanks

Hard Core Man ! Ooh Rah ! That's how I do it ! 👍

Thanks for your video

Great impromptu instructional video. Next three days it's going to be the worst on the pain scale compared to when you first got stuck just no flopping fish or a pole attached.

Just worked for me thanks man

That's a real man right there.

Well done... TY.

Keep on fishin cuz it's good fur ya !!

Ouch! Hoping I never have to do that but thanks for the quick lesson in case I do. 😃🐟🐟🐟🐟👍
