Thanks Willy.

Ah, the dreaded treble. I'm glad it wasn't me!

It was in there at a funky angle so the "yank it out w/ fishing line" trick wasn't going to work. But lucky for him the point of the hook was not too far under the skin. I used an exacto knife to cut the skin and expose the tip. Then he was able to cut the rest of the hook off to where FlyFishin could grab the tip with needle nose pliers to pull it out.

We did not have a survival kit (Maker's Mark) on the boat, unfortunately.

The joke of the day was, "Fish - 1, Humans - 6."
