Ohio DNR also recommends cutting the line from the hook as close as
possible. The fish will spit the hook eventually.

What is the recommended thing to do when the bass swallows the hook.
I've
heard many different things and really don't know what to do. I want
that 3
pounder I caught to live and become a 6 pounder...

Thanks!



Cut the line, do not try to remove the hook if it is out of reach (past
the throat)

The best thing to do in the future is try to reduce this, start setting
the hook faster, don't let them run with the bait, or use a circle hook,
or start drop shotting more

I've been hearing that the hook WON'T rust or rot away if I do this and
the
fish will starve to death.
