Takin the fish off the hook

Ive been to the tackle shop and forgot to buy a degouger thingy

is there a way of getting the hook out of the fish without one?

I keep a small pair of 'jewellers' pliers in my jacket, these can be used as a degouger and for fixing split weights onto your line, also saves carrying loads of kit. Hope this helps.
