Grandpa, that is correct, if I'm understanding you correctly, never, attach a bait hook, in this case a circle hook, to any kind of clip, snap etc... always line, then, further up the line a swivel if you want.
If you look closely, you can see the hook has penetrated the upper mouth, near the nostrils. No, I'm not stepping on the fish, in case anyone is wondering, it's laying in a depression, and my foot is on some ledge above it.
