Caught a large bluefish last year that had an entire torn and healed gill arch protruding from under its gill cover. Obviously it had been hooked in the gill previously, had one end of the gill ripped out by the roots, and survived with no obvious ill effect. Fought very well, too. Let 'em go, some will make it, some won't. Keeping injured shorts is a slippery slope.
