Ouch!!!
I have been known to poke myself from time to time but this one was new to me. One quick turn with my hand in the wrong place was all it took. The worst part was trying to get the hook point back through the skin. Bent up the hook trying to do so. Not that it mattered because I was going to clip the point off anyway. I really thought I was going to have to take a trip to the ER but I finally found the strength to take care of business.
If you would have had some help they could have held the eye down against your skin and put a piece of line under the hook and pulled rearward sharply, it would have come out. Nice job on the hook up. Been there done that.
The biggest reason I sacrifice the barb to the vise before I tie....
Good on you for taking care of business!!

if every cast caught a fish, it would be called "catching" not "fishing"
I forgot about the pull it backwards with string method. If/when there is a next time I might have to use that. Seem to have some bruising around the area today but no swelling or anything else.
When is the last time you had a tetanus shot? It it's been several years you may want to make a doctors appointment.
I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.
OUCHIE!!
