Well ST, it was buried in there pretty dang good as you can see. Luckily I was near shore where there was like 4 people bank fishing. They seen it happen, and i checked it out and took the pic of it, and knew i would need a little help. So i pulled over to shore and asked for help to just hold the lure, while I used my needlenose pliers to press the skin down to get the point to come thru a new hole. Then cut the point off below the barb. Its usually pretty simple. But that 1 was buried deep, at a weird angle. It had such a good chunk of meat that it wasnt easy to make it continue on thru, which is why i needed the help. When i got it out, I thanked the guy for helpin me, and he laughed sayin no thanks needed, "I know that had to hurt like hell", had to tell him no the one i got in my neck/shoulder hurt like hell, but only because we spent 20 mins and 2 other people trying to back it out, which just wasnt going to happen. Skin is waaay to tough to back out a barbed hook thats buried deep. After i got back in boat and moved back over where that happened, made a cast missed a bass 2 times then made 2 more casts and caught that dink.
Yeah I know im rambling on
