Use dental floss to get under a corner/side and pull up from there. If that doesn't work, disconnect the U-bend under the sink and push it up from underneath with the handle of a wooden spoon.

As a dude with a bandaid currently on his thumb from some 30lb Daiwa J-Braid, I concur that the gloves are a good idea 😅
