The Florida Georgia Line singer found himself in a painful predicament during a recent four-day camping trip when a fish hook got lodged in his scalp, forcing his wife, Hayley, to perform some backwoods surgery.

“Breakfast had to wait…” Hubbard wrote alongside an Instagram video of the removal.
In the clip, Hayley inspects the hook while the couple’s three children offer encouragement from nearby.
“Wow, those little barbs really work,” she said.
Hubbard never explained exactly how the hook ended up in his head, but he stayed impressively calm as Hayley worked to free it with a pair of pliers.
When one of the kids asked how badly it hurt, Hubbard admitted, “Kinda does.”

Hayley eventually pulled the hook loose, prompting a relieved, “Oh, we got it!”
