MacGyver would be proud of this tip – seems like it would work if you are really hungry for a fish and forgot your hook!

From Lifehacker:

So you’re out on the lake, and you’ve remembered to bring the beer but forgotten the food. The quick-and-dirty solution: Try snagging yourself a couple of fish by fashioning an aluminum can tab into a fish hook.

Whether you’re on the run trying to escape Skynet’s army or you’ve just forgotten the hooks on your weekly fishing trip, don’t despair. With just a sharp tool (a multi-tool would be ideal), you can turn any soda can tab into a hook worthy of catching a small fish. If you’re doing this project at home, a file can help you hone the hook to a nice, sharp point. You can even tie a line around the other end of the tab. It’s one of those really cool projects you don’t think you’ll need, but could come in really handy during a bout of forgetfulness (or the inevitable zombie attack).
