Default Catch & release

Just a question.
Tonight I hooked a 5lb'er. The hook penetrated that area behind the tongue
and removal was impossible. Over the years, when this happens, I've always
cut the line and let the fish go with the hook in.

Tonight I tried something different. I cut the line and pulled the hook out
by pulling the shank out. The hook was a 3/0 offset. So the bend in the top
of the hook caused some resistance.
There appeared to be no damage, but there was a fair amount of blood.

What are the chances of the bass surviving? Just an opinion, of course.

Thanks
