It's usually a dead-giveaway that a salmon is foul-hooked when it is doing

Hmmm. I would have thought a fish that is foul-hooked ....what I call gut
hooked.... would be kept for eating as there's a good chance it will die,
anyway. Your reply would seem to countradict that. Am I mistaken? If so,
how? Thank you for your previous enlightening reply.
