The fish was hooked on fishing line that had been broken. The hook was completely swallowed and could not be grasped or removed. I cut the line as close as possible to the fishes mouth and released it.
One other entangled fish that I was not able to report above. Small pufferfish dead on similar broken fishing line/hook.
