Like the link says: [li]If possible, keep the fish in the water and use a pair of forceps or needle nosed pliers to remove the hook. [/li]
A good set of needle nose pliers and a little practice makes it easy to extract the hook without needlessly hurting or even touching the fish. Of course that may not help if you are bait fishing. Stick to tubes, flies, or lures and the survival rate of the fish will go way up; that's what works best on the Berry anyway.
