If it doesn't come out easy, give it some forward pressure opposite the direction of where the barb is on the hook, and pull out. Beyond that just get lucky. If you can't get one out of it's tongue or gut or gills and it's gonna bleed real bad. Just cut the line and let him loose with the hook. They can digest that thing in a couple weeks. Fish that live in human polluted water eat bits of plastic and metal all the time by accident and their body and break it down to a better degree than we can
