Anyway. What should ethically be done with an inedible fish that has been
gullet hooked?

IMO, the majority times...it's best just to clip the line and
release em'. I've caught quite a few bass over the years that had
hooks in em' and believe that some can live as long as you don't go
yanking on their innards and messing around with em' too much.

I also think that a few dead or dying fish going to the water
isn't that bad of a thing as the turtles have to eat too...
