Hook
Sounds of if you all got this covered. Biggest thing is not to get hooked in the first place.

Take a piece of string and run it under the bend that makes the hook. Then push the eye down and out towards the barbed point while at the same time lifting up on the string very hard, (not yanking). This actually pushes the barb away from tissue and allows the point to withdraw. It takes a little bit of M-A-N and you can't be a weeny either. It makes an audible pop when it comes out but I can tell you that it hurts a lot less than pushing it through and you avoid infection and the possible damage to vessels and tendons.
I'll have to produce a pic to show how its done.

I have successfully used this method several times to remove hooks. Didn't hurt a bit!!
