did you know the proper way to remove a fish hook, especially trebles?
1) Remove hook from lure. 2) Double the fishing line and loop it around the hook, as close to the skin's surface as possible. 3) Hold onto both ends of the doubled line, wrapping them around your hand for a firm grip and holding the line parallel to the skins surface in line with the hook. 4) With your other hand, press the eye of the hook down onto the surface of the skin and back toward the hook's bend, as if trying to back the hook out of the wound. 5) While pressing on the hook eye, yank the line sharply, parallel to the skin and in line with the hook, to snap the hook back out of the wound.

I've removed some seriously deep hooks this way, and after disinfecting the wound, slapped a bandage on and it was ok. (i ALWAYS carry a first aid kid with me on the boat, and at least a few alcohol rubs and band-aids whenever i do any kind of fishing)
