I can do pliers for the shallow ones. Am after something that gets the deepset ones but gives a good chance to keep the fish alive.

I do think that it must get in the way of when it is eating as well.

This fish is probably going to die, released or not. Although I have caught several fish with old hooks lodged in their gullet. They fought fine; didn’t seem bothered by it. So who knows? If the fish is not wanted for food, or can’t be kept for some other reason, cut the line as close to the hook as possible and hope for the best. No one answer but above seems best? ------------- Sex at 58.Lucky I live at 56
