There was a study in MD that showed 9.1% of hooked bass died with 3 days using a J hook (most of these were gut hooked)...

to me that means more then 90% survived.

It was a J vs Circle hook comparison study...0.8% of the bass died within 3 days after being released with a circle.

Most circles don't gut hook. I only use them now and then...I know some guys who love them and some who hate them. I need to try them more often with eels.
