- How do you unhook a fish? This simple video helps you create a fish dummy so you can practice before you actually catch a fish. If you can see the hook, use your finger and thumb to gently push the hook in the opposite direction to which it's entered the fish, this is generally back into the fish's mouth. If you can't reach the hook, use a disgoger. Slide the line down the barrel of the disgorger and into the fish's mouth. Remember to keep the line tight. Push until you feel the disgorger stop on the hook, now push down gently to release the hook before carefully drawing the disgorger out and extracting the hook. Practice makes perfect!
Join us at The School Of Fish for a fishing lesson and we'll learn how to unhook a fish and loads of other great tips - theschooloffish.co.uk/

I am so glad I came across your video. I will purchase and practice so I can unhook my own fish from now on 😊
Great watched quite a few basic beginner fishing videos that don’t show this helpful information, thank you
Best of luck Phillip. I hope you’re unhooking a whopper very soon 👍
Wow thank you very much... This is really helpful...
neil develos best of luck catching and unhooking lots of great fish! 👍
Very good but what if the fish is too big to hold in your left hand
Great video 👍
Would also be interested in a video on best hand positioning on the fish while removing hooks.
I never know what to grab 🤷♂️
I'm sick of having people take the fish of the hook for me like a scaredy cat, but this summer I'm determined to do it myself
That’s brilliant! Go carefully and you’ll be great. Let me know how you get on please. Good luck!
I’m afraid of catfish lol I don’t want to get finned!
@@godschild6320 lol same
Same
In Florida we call those pool noodles
really helped thanks!!!
Good luck with your fishing.
same to you.
Great video- thanks. But ditch the music!
Thanks that was very helpful😊
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing!! 🙏
Good luck! I hope you get to practice and then use the skills soon 👍
Great video , thanks . New sub too 👍
baz thanks Baz. Best of luck!
very clever demonstration with the pool noodle tube of foam... Very Clever...
Joe Watson I hope it helps. Happy fishing.
Nice. Looks like it will work much better then forceps. Great idea for practicing. I fish for Bluegill and getting the hook out can be tough.
Ralph Woodard We don't get Bluegill here in the U.K. but I hear they're great fun to catch. Good luck with unhooking them, practice makes perfect. Tight lines!
Thank you very much. This video helps me hugely.
Enjoy the fishing Andrew, I’m glad the video helped. All the best and good luck!
Hi Great job !! will let you know if our practicing works out !!!
Thanks for the info. Out of curiosity how popular is sport fishing in the UK?
Sport fishing in the UK is hugely popular. We're fortunate to have a bgi variety of fishing available from man-made freshwater fisheries to big wild rivers and a big coastline with everything from small whiting to huge blue fin tuna!
Do one with barbed hooks
Long tip needle nose pliers work everytime
At times you need to go thru the gills to get to the hook
Thanks for showing us this is the first RUclips video where I can actually see what the persons doing
I hope it helps and you’re quickly and confidently removing those hooks safely for you and the fish. Good luck!
Thanks man
I've had problems with a few deep hooked perch, where the disgorger unhooks the hook, but it rehooks even deeper, as you can't see the hook point to turn it to the side, any tips to avoid this in future on a deep hooked fish? yes setting the hook earlier after a bite would help! but sometimes perch in particular wolf down the bait. thanks.
Wonky Lommiter Hi and great question. Perch can be really tricky little things. When they are solitary, they have a habit of eating on the spot rather than eating and staying on the move as part of a shoal. Eating on the spot means the bite often goes undetected until the bite is already well engulfed. Barbless hooks always aid easy unhooking so start there. Trying a disgorger with a slightly larger end can work. The hook when released will sit flush to the disgorger and is less likely to hook the fish again as you withdraw the hook. There is another approach to try. Some disgorger (I think Preston Innovations do it) have an open loop at one end. Many people assume it's for pulling knots tight but it is in fact another disgorger. It works in a similar way but can work when the standard end doesn't. Finally, if on your first observation of the hook position the hook is clearly deep, don't try for too long. If it's not working (which rare) be ready to cut the line as close to the hook as possible. In my opinion it's better to take this approach then it is to work the hook deeper and increase the risk of harm. Very best of luck! P.S there's a Perch fishing with prawns video on this channel, that's great fun and seems to find the monsters!
This type?...

Thanks for the tips, appreciated. will check out the perch/prawns vid!
That's the one. Give it a go. All the best!
@@rickcowleymidfulnessfitnes3901 That's unfortunate. I'd recommend you read some of the studies done on catch and release mortality rates. A study done on bluegill by Carleton University found that mortality rates were significantly higher both short term and long term when deeply set hooks were removed. There's been several others done as well.
Most fish and wildlife actually don't recommend removing a deeply set hook but to instead cut the line and release it. As well as not using stainless steel hooks wherever possible.
What is the name of the tool? Thank you
Hi Helen, it’s a Disgorger. Should cost less than a pound in a tackle shop. Good luck
Are you using a barbed hook?
Hi Cameron, a disgorger can be used with a barbless or barbed hook. Admittedly you need to take a little more time and care with a barbed hook but it still works. A barbless hook will be easier and there aren’t many circumstances where I would choose a barbed hook in preference to a barbed hook. Good luck!
@@theschooloffish115 thank you
I was a scaredy cat, people watch me struggling with a fish. And i did not mean to but i killed a fish trying to save is. Thanks for the help.
I’d be lying if I said that the same didn’t happen to me when I started fishing years ago. It was a really unpleasant experience. The important thing is to learn from it. Do some practice, be confident and your catch and release will be successful. Good luck!
@@theschooloffish115 same. We also kep funaral for the fish-
I caught a small tilapia and the hook was through his mouth and the hook was poking out of his eye socket area, I had such a hard time getting it out, hopefully this can help me next time
Hi, what you’ve described will sometimes happen with small fish. When it happens have a look at the problem, look at where the hook is coming from and, with confidence, reverse the hook back out. It’s easier said than done I know but with experience it will get easier, for you and the fish! Good luck for the future
were you drunk when😇😂 you made this video
The Gemini t bar disgorger is far better and more gentler to the fish.
Hi Fenderman4500. A T-bar is indeed a useful tool but is best suited to larger fish and hooks. Great for saving sore fingers if catching lots of Whiting and Dogfish for example. It wouldn't be appropriate for use with small coarse fish and the hooks used as described in the video. Thanks for your contribution and tight lines!
My husband rips it through the mouth I’m angry
I assume he's not the only one. Yet, seems easier based on my experience to back out the hook than ripping through the the more rigid tissue of the fish's mouth.
That music was annoying.
Really?
I’m confident millions of fish are being gutted and sliced.
