On my boat, the Holly Lucas, we always tallywack the walleye while it is still in the net and never attempt to touch it or remove a lure until the fish is unconscious or dead. In the past I have had to remove a hook or two but not every boat has the luxury of having a doctor on board. Thankfully, I have never had to run to shore or cut a trip short because of a hook gone wild. It's a simple procedure followed by a bandage and back to fishing. And NO, I do not make boat calls. (Be careful out there.)
