Unhooking A Fish

So you have gone out fishing and caught the big one. Well done. Now what do you do with it. Well you need to unhook it from your line. It is actually quite tricky. Lucky for you this hub has some tips on how to unhook your fish.


How to unhook a fish

1. Pull the fish close to you near your hands.

2. Reach out with one hand and grab the fish. Grab him around the fins that are below the gills, the pectoral fins. Be careful. If the fish jumps free he can can cut you.

3. You shouldn't rip the hook out of the fish's lip or mouth. Instead, grip the hook and pull it out as closely as you can to the way it hooked into the fish's mouth. The best way to hold onto the hook is to hold it by the eyelet.

4. If the fish has completely swallowed the hook, and you plan to keep the fish, simply cut off the line and remove the hook while you gut and clean it. If you plan to throw the fish back, cut as little flesh as possible to remove the hook. If you can't remove it, throw the fish back in the water, hook and all.
