Over the years I have found hooks in the Mouth, throat, stomach and had one that had a single hook sticking out its bung hole.
Poor fish allmost passed it out through but it got caught with the eye sticking out and the barb stuck inside. Poor fish must have suffered some but it bit on an eel skin rig and fought well. It didn't appear as skinny or sick. It was one of those super zee nickel never rust Mustad hooks back in the early 70's.
When the live baiters and chunkers invaded the Elizabeths in the late seventies we had hooks every where in fish that we would catch and clean.
Some had spark plugs in their stomachs from the Yo-Yo Fishermen and even once one of the Guides found a weird shaped metal rig that I guess held a Pogie. It was made of several pieces of metal and the metal was in the Basses stomach.
