hook

so, I was unhooking a nice big king salmon, and managed to catch a 5/0 barbed Gamakatsu in the finger, and since this hook was still tied to the other hook that was still in the fish, his thrashing all around managed to really slam it in there. Once I got the fish cut loose and released, I got the pliers out and pushed the hook farther in so that the barb was clear, cut the hook in half and pulled it out. Took a couple days before it stopped being sore....
