Have you ever??

I did not have a camera to take a photo with, sorry. I looked the fish over, touched the jig head and found that the shank and barb of the hook was still inside the fish, then wished it a lot of luck and released it.

Heard of it, but never had it happen to me, but I was in a boat with my ousing night fishing Dale hollow when he caught about a 4 pound smallie on a spinnerbait that threw up a crawfish while he was releasing it.
