(maybe this should be a new thread) What's the consensus on leaving a hook in a deeply hooked fish? Is it likely the fish will "dissolve" the hook eventually and live happily ever after? Is one hook metal better? Are catfish more likely to "dissolve" a hook than trout?
A few years ago my uncle & I fished Strawberry with a guide and used bait. The guide cut off a number of slot cutthroats and said they would eventually reject the hook. I was a bit surprised.
