I keep hearing about this pen trick, but how does it work ?

It's unbelievable works every time with just a pen or pencil a greedy dab swallowed both hooks on a flapper rig and it still worked as Paul Daniels said ...... That's magic.....

How do you do it then ?

Push the pen down past the hook in the fish's mouth, hold the line against the pen with your finger and thumb then gently spin the fish and the hook dislodges. I think when the line wraps around the pen it alters the angle that the hook is in the fish and it comes free.
When I say a pen, any similar shaped object will do the trick.
Also remember to do this as close to the ground as possible so the fish does not have far to drop
