I aggree with saltheart,The hook rots out fast as long as its not stainless.Most eel hooked bass that break free are not in real danger because the furthest the hook goes is the throat.
I wonder about bass that break off with a plug in there maw?? Especially the ones that are hooked in both the lower and upper jaw? Its a long time before that fish can eat again!! Plus they cant breath all that well??
