Well been a few years, but now I've done it again. It doesn't look too deep,but it's not budging.Not going to emergency room. Help ? Think I'm just going to get a pliers and do what I do on the fish.

Think I've got it - pushed the barb on through.Just got to clip it off and pull it through.

Looks pretty shallow, maybe a clean razor blade slice to that layer of skin? 

Yeah I've got a sharp knife but it's a bad angle.Trying to cut the hook in half but my old bolt cutters aren't doing the job.

Got it !! I decided to put tension on the hook and then cut straight down the hook through the skin until it came free. Doesn't hurt too much.
