I have seen that method, but it was more of a "Jerk like Hell!" mentality.
My daughter ran into one of my fishing poles with a crankbait tied on it. 4 of six treble points in her forearm, and she was too young to know to freeze. She started ripping at that crankbait, furiously trying to free the hooks from her skin. In the process, she drove some of those points into her left palm, and then proceeded to literally RIP the crankbait out of her arm, and then with her right hand, ripped the crankbait from her left palm.
Through some sort of kid-magic, she was only left with 4 barely visible puncture wounds on her arm, and a couple scrapes on her hands. I thought for sure she was going to rip big holes in her arm.
The crazy part about it was her super-strength. I am a man. Not a big, buff, burly man, but not a wimp, either. And the second i saw her walk intro that crankbait, i jumped on her and tried to hold her arm still. She was so frantic in her attempts that she literally overpowered me four separate times when i tried to stop her. It was f-n nuts.
Traumatizing for a parent to see.
She still likes fishing though!
