Separately, are people not educated on leaving the net in the water with the fish while looking for a camera, etc?
Heck, they aren’t edumacated enough to cut the line/hook if the they swallowed the hook. They gotta save that $.24 hook!!!! I see more and more abuse of fish that then get released it’s no wonder the mortality calculations on Mille lacs keep going up!!
For what it’s worth, I’ve had a lot of luck using a long baker hookout and going in through the gill plate to remove deep hooks, even hooks that are mostly swallowed. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had to leave a hook in a fish. It works really, really well if you’re careful.
Yes, but there in lies the edumacatin part.
