Just from my experience, I have caught and released many tout, mostly small planters.
If I am fishing with a lure that has a treble hook, I have often caught a fish that has one hook in the mouth and has had one of the other hooks on the treble hook lodged in the facial area. Some of these are in the immediate area of the eye.
If there is no apperant damage that may prove fatal, I usually release the catch.
I am betting that this is the case with your fish, but I havn't been to Fish Lake for 10 years or more!!!
I am glad to hear that there are healthy 1 eyed fish that are surviving a catch and release!!!
Let me know what you think about my C&R!!!!
