First pic is for the squeamish ppl here.
(TLDR: be patient)
To the beginners out there, have some patience when you try to retrieve a snagged lure. Do NOT just furiously pull your line as hard as you can. I’ve had many lures go flying by my side and thought to myself “Whew I’m safe”, today I thought the same thing until this guy caught me on the back swing of flying by. Two barbs went fully into my arm and held there with extreme tension on the line because in the whipping motion it wrapped around the reel handle.

If it’s snagged above the surface you can slingshot your rod into it, up to you if you want to use the rod that way though you could definitely damage it.
