I am not sure if this should be on the techniques page but I found a cool tool for removing hooks that are deep. I know there are ways to get them through the gills & I have done that but this seems better. One note when I hook a fish deep I find it best to cut the line & put it in the livewell for 20 min or so then remove the hook & release. This give the fish a chance to recover from the fight & then it is able to with stand the stress of the hook removal.
