I recently caught a bass from inside the mouth and the barb was visible on the outside but i couldnt get the hook out with any tool.I cut off the barb with a pair of wire cutters and it slid right out!

Answer 2

Pull it out with pliers the way it came in.

Answer 3

With a digourger.Get one from any tackle shop.

Answer 4

Hold the fish with damp hands and reverse the hook out slowly with your fingers, if its a small hook forceps will help allot, if its a toothy fish pliers can also work, give barbless hooks a go, you can flatten the barbs on ordinary hooks with pliers it makes removing the hook allot easier plus the hook often holds and penetrates the fishes mouth even better because there is no barb to stop it. if your fly fishing de-barbing is very important.
