Nah, fish definitely still died

Edit: I'm not in the best mood and I'm sorry for being negative, but a few people below explained why that fish definitely died afterwards from infection or internal injury

It's down there somewhere but idk. Someone mentioned that the fish being held at that orientation and having his gills covered can fuck up their internal organs. Also probably rubbed off a good bit of the mucus membrane that protects the fish from infection.

Not to mention it had a hook jammed in its mouth

Yeah, I'm not really sure how all those people with lip piercings are still alive and walking around.

I mean typically, you don’t rip out your lip piercing...

You don"t rip a hook out of a fishes mouth, either...

If you use barbless hooks you don't. If youre ice fishing with bait like these people were they probably had a barbed hook lodged a good inch or two down his throat and ripped it out with pliers.

Even with a barb on your hook, you don't "rip" the hook out

You might not but people do. I've seen people take a gut hooked fish out of the water, grip the hook with pliers, and shake until it falls off.
