it's not good if it's deep down right?

i'm gonna worried that if I catch it on their lips/mouths(like normal people do) it could possibly do big damage since they're thrashing around while they're lips are being tugged on..

should i get any medications or anything?
how long does it take until they get used to the tank/pond and start feeding?

i just kept a yellow perch that swallowed the hook down past his gills, there was alot of blood and i actually had to push the hook thru more to cut the barb out.
i didnt plan on keeping any fish that day, but i had to try and recover him.
 
all right i'll go get a native species permit.

and fisharnekced.

so you "tried" right?lol was it successful?

suprisingly, yes he isnt eating yet and he seems nervious but he looks disease free and healthy, he hasnt eaten in 3-4 days that iv seen, but his belly is not hollow.
and his gills seem to be functioning

try in your tank? is that necessary?
 
Catching fish and leaving them on the bank to die/rot is illegal in most states
