foul hooked would be if the fish swiped at the plug, missed, but you set up and hooked the thing in the back.
snagged would be ripping a weighted treble through a school of pogies and hooking into a fish.
who knows if the guy meant to actually snag the bass. i guess after that, ethics come more into play than the law. at least thats how i would look at it. if the fish was fatally injured(ie bleeding from the gills) i'd keep it and eat it. wouldn't feel to good about it tho
