How should I handle this? - Page 2

Guys, I feel bad.

This weekend I caught a hawg of a small mouth, 20+ inches. Pictures on film, will post when they get developed.

The problem was the fish swallowed my jig DEEP and I couldn't get it out. Someone told me the best way to handle this would be to cut the line and release the fish and the hook would work its way out.

This guy at work who is an avid fisherman told me I should have probably kept the fish and eaten it since it would die a horable painfull death with the hook in its gut.

What should have I done?
