I usually examine the stomach contents, when cleaning a fish, to see what they've been ordering off the menu. I have found hooks half a dozen times, usually encrusted as decribed above. Once there was a 6" piece of mono hanging out that the fish had been trying to pass. If gut hookedand bleeding, I keep it. That goes for the extremely rare schoolie too, like it or not, IF the fish isn't going to make it, due to excess bleeding, I will make sure it goes on someone's dinner table. Don't want to do it, but it does happen if you fish enough. (Bet that'll get set someone off)
