ok fellas, I am not 100% sure on what to do when a bass swallows the hook. I recently pulled a nice bass out and it swallowed my hook and I just cut the line completely off leaving the hook not wanting to harm the bass, in the past if the bottom part of the hook was exposed I would cut the line and thread the hook out. Any suggestions? Should I leave the hook or should I cut the line and thread the hook out if I can?

Here ya go!
