It's hard to stay calm when your fish sustain some 'damage' from novice anglers.

That gut-hooked CC probably has a greater than 50/50 chance of being OK, but it's just a guess as we don't know the size of the hook, or where exactly it's hooked. If it's in the lips/mouth, I would say that's a better case than a hook in the gullet.

How many LMB did your originally stock?
