I couldn't believe what I found in a bass's gullet - SenkoSam - 08-06-2021 Finally after hours of no strikes I found an area in 8' of water that produced excellent yellow perch, sunfish and a few bass. One bass I caught had about a foot of mono line coming from its mouth. After I unhooked my lure, I figured I'd get the other hook out. No hook was seen but I noticed deep in the gullet a small metal piece. I started pulling the line and out comes a swivel followed by that circle hook and 5" soft stick. The hook may have never been stuck in the fish's mouth, but it still broke the line. Here are a few shots of the fish and both of the lures it was caught it with: Soft stick: The lure (Claw) I caught the fish with: At least it won't starve to death.

I think most people would not have even tried but you are likely right, the fish would not have survived had you not got it out.
