I’ve had more than my fair share of hooks in me. If I can use the string trick to pull it out, I do. But there have been times where due to the angle or type of hook (such as Khale), that’s not an option. In that case, I’ll soak the area in ice for a minute or two, pop the barb through the skin, cut off the barb, and then slide the hook out. Hit it with some antiseptic or peroxide, bandage it, and get back to it.
