Doctors pull fishhooks out of people... with fishing line. 🎣 Here's the trick, why it works, and when you should never try it. Why it's stuck: right behind the point is the barb, a tiny spike that points backward. Pull straight back and it snags collagen, the tough fibers that hold your skin together, so the skin tents up and tears. First, check where it is. Just under the skin in a fleshy spot like a fingertip or your palm? You can do this. Anywhere else, see a doctor. The string trick, worked out by fishermen in South Australia and written up by a doctor in 1961: 1. Lay the hand flat on something solid. 2. Loop strong fishing line around the bend of the hook and wrap the ends around your hand. 3. Press the eye of the hook down against the skin. That rocks the barb off the fibers. 4. One quick, hard yank straight along the shank. It flies out fast, so keep faces out of the way. Point already pushing up under the skin? Plan B: push it through, snip off the barb, back the hook out. Afterwards: soap, clean water, cover it. Last tetanus shot more than 5 years ago? Ask a doctor about a booster. Red, swollen and hot, or a red streak creeping up your arm? See a doctor. Better yet, squash your barbs flat with pliers. #fishing #fishhook #firstaid #fishingtips #fishinghacks

A perfect cast... and then this. 🪺 If you've ever used a baitcaster, you've picked one apart. Mid-cast the spool can hit 20,000 turns a minute: a flywheel that wants to keep spinning. The lure doesn't. The air drags it back, the spool keeps feeding line, and the extra line balloons into loops: a bird's nest. It strikes at three moments: a jerky start, mid-flight (a light lure or a headwind), and splashdown, when the lure stops dead and the spool doesn't. The fix: feather the spool with your thumb as the lure slows and pin it the moment it lands. Brakes, centrifugal or magnetic, push back harder the faster the spool spins. Set the tension knob so the lure falls slowly and the spool stops right when it lands. Start with the brakes high, cast smooth, not hard, and turn them down as your thumb learns. Already got a nest? Pin the spool, crank a few turns, then pull the line out. The spool's a flywheel, the lure's a feather. Your thumb decides who wins. #fishing #baitcaster #bassfishing #fishingtips #backlash

Texas stocks over 300,000 rainbow trout every winter, in water that kills them by summer. So keep your five. 1. The truck: stocking usually starts Thanksgiving week. Every pond and every date is on the TPWD trout stocking schedule, and most fish go in between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. 2. Where: your closest Neighborhood Fishin' pond or community fishing lake. The Guadalupe below Canyon Lake gets thousands too (lures only, special limits). 3. Bait: these trout grew up on pellets. Trout dough or kernel corn, a few inches to a foot off the bottom. Or a nightcrawler under a bobber. 4. Lures: a small inline spinner or a little spoon. Let it sink, reel slow, 6 to 8 lb line. 5. Stocking day: everybody lines up where the truck dumps them, but the trout spread out fast. Walk to the corners, the edges and the far bank. Rules: 5 trout a day, no minimum length. 17 and up need a fishing license plus the freshwater endorsement, kids under 17 fish free. Check TPWD before you go. Which pond are you hitting? Tell me in the comments. Find spots near you, save your pond as a private spot and check the wind in FishMan. Link in bio. #troutfishing #texasfishing #fishingtips

One feeding spot. Four baited hooks. The center spring keeps the groundbait working while the float helps keep the rig spread and slightly lifted. Pre-tied for carp and catfish-tap the yellow basket.#CarpFishing #CatfishFishing #FishingGear #BankFishing #FishingTips

If you’re still using two hands to cast a spinning reel, you’re wasting time and missing out on more fish. In professional bass fishing, efficiency is everything. The faster you can reset your lure and hit the next target, the higher your chances of a limit. In this video, I break down the One-Handed Casting Technique into four simple steps. It starts with the "Two-Finger Grip," positioning your hand so your fingers do all the work. I’ll show you how to use your middle finger to flip the bail open and your index finger to control the line and snap it closed—all without ever taking your hand off the reel handle. The real secret? Mastering the "mid-retrieve catch," where you prepare for the next cast before your current retrieve even ends. It looks slick, but more importantly, it makes you a much more effective angler. #kastking#fishingtips #bassfishing#spinningreel#lurefishing
