As a rookie I have yet to see a steelhead. However, I did release all of the salmon I caught this year (well, all but the 1st one). Anyways, if you cut the line at the hook, obviously the hook is going to stay with the fish. Isn't that going to harm the fish??? I'd hate to think of having to spend the rest of my life with a hook in my mouth. I know the "rest of my life" won't be long for a salmon, but what about steelhead?? Does it depend on where the hook is?? I'd like to give my fish the best chance possible for survival, and I am strictly a C&R (catch and release) fisherman. Please advise me on the best way to insure the fish's survival long term.
