Fish Swallow The Hook?
Uploaded on May 20, 2009When baitfishing for bluegills, many times they swallow the hook and get it deeply caught in their gills. If the fish does this many times it takes a long time and a pair of needle nose pliers to free the fish. I take the pointy end of a bobber and stick it down their throat about an inch, then holding the bobber and string in one hand just spin it. After a few spins the bluegill will fall off and your ready to fish again!

I will have to try this, it sounds to good to be true.
I'm going to try this. My hook gets swallowed all the time. I hope it works for me!
that seems like a grreat idea i hate when that happens and one time i caught a trout like that but lucky it was big cause i ate it
I am going to try this this weekend. I am taking my daughter fishing for bluegills and they almost always swallow the hook on this lake. will let all know how well it works.
If you aren't keeping the fish the best thing to do is to just cut the line and let the hook rust out, because most fish that are gut hooked or gill hooked will die when you remove the hook even if they dont gush blood it is still detramental too the fish 70% of the time.
worked o.k., nothing to write home about.
sounds good
better to just cut the line off and let the fish live.
Im going to try it
or bigger hooks
I tried it, I caught about 12 fish and the boober thing worked for 5 of them.
I meant bobber
