Thread: what's the slickest way to get a hook out of bream that

I've never heard of that method, but I use something similar called a disgorger. It's a pencil-sized piece of plastic with a little notch on the end. It works great.

death, you try the pencil like i said and you'll throw that plastic thang away. really. i tried the deal like you have. it will work but not as slick as the pencil. and i'd bet not one in 50 that read this will try it but if you ever saw it done you'll be amazed. really.

i'd like to try it but am having a little difficulty imagining how to do it...do you spin the fish while holding the line againts the pencil?

You tried an disgorger like this?





Or like this?




I'm just asking because these are English disgorgers that most Americans have never seen. I got them straight from an English tackle shop.

I'd be willing to try your method, but I'm not exactly clear on how to do it. Can you post a video? Also, why do you have to sharpen the pencil?

I see you are having trouble understanding as well.

fishin', i'm not good at explaining things so i'll try again. you take a regular lead pencil. it needs to be the 6 sided kind and not the round kind. sharpen it so the point will go down the breams throat easier. stick the pencil down the fishes throat past the hook an inch or two and with your thumb hold the line against one of the flat sides of the pencil and with the fish hanging tail down/head up spin the fish. just make sure you hold the line tight to the pencil. a rough stick will do too. makes it easier to hold the line against the stick so it doesn't slip.

this way you don't have to look down the fishes mouth to see if you got such and such notch lined up with the line or hook. just poke the pencil, hold the line tight and spin. fast and easy.

I'll have to try that.Went and got a six sided pencil in my hand right now.

Very interesting duckhunter. I will have to try that sometime.
