It was bound to happen

After 20+ years of fishing, I finally got hooked. I was removing the rear treble when the fish jerked free and the front treble got me. The barb was sunk in good. I cut the hook free from the others. Then, I tried cutting it out, but that was torterous. I tried pulling it back out but quickly realized that wasn't a good idea. I decided to push it through but was too much of a wimp, so I asked my buddy to push it through. Surprisingly, it wasn't all that painful. The lesson I learned is make sure you have someone around who is willing to shove a hook through your finger.
