Don't bother trying to rip the hook out because you could kill it. This goes with fish, frogs, turtles, everything. I have had so many sunfish and bass swallow the hook and attempt to pull it out and they start bleeding from the gills and die. Just cut the line and throw it back in the water. They have a better chance of survival. You know honestly, just cut the line. Don’t bother trying to rip the hook out because you could kill it. This goes with fish, frogs, turtles, everything.

This allows you to remove the hooks with minimal tissue damage. Very difficult to calm a turtle down.

Just take them out with pliers and try not to rip the hook, just manouver it out carefully. And YOU be careful too. Snappers and Alligator snappers can hurt ya bad if you aren't careful.
