A while back I cited a state guv boating accident report where an old
guy got all hooked and tangled in fishing gear, fell out of the boat
and drowned. A couple days ago I ran across a post on a boating forum
where a guy found himself drifting to a rocky lee shore and as he
started to take action:

My doctor showed me a slick way of removing a hook using a scalpel, two of
which he gave me after the explanation was over. I won't explain it here
because I don't feel like it. Ask YOUR doctor to show you. It's a better
method in any place where you'd want less scarring.

I know that trick - it is pretty cool.
