At 3:33pm on June 30, 2010, bluegillboogieman said…: Hi Sarah. A hook in the gills is tough to know what to do. You could cut the line as close to the hook as possible and let the fish go. I have heard some say that in a few days, enzymes released at the hook site will allow the hook to fall out. I myself would probably take this fish home to eat rather than leave it to maybe die.

As to hook removal, the best tool I have used is a set of hemostats like a doctor use to clamp off blood vessels during surgery or to pluck out a bullet from a wound. I have bought and tried a number of hook removal tools made just for that, including Big Bluegill.com's Terry Gauger's UNHOOKEM tool. I never mastered their use and always went back to my hemostats. Practice makes perfect!

I ice fish quite a bit here in Michigan, but I don't really get the big ones until we see the soft water. Looking forward to getting the boat out and drifting for what I know is down there.

Please go with an adult that's experienced.Not trying to scare you just warn you. Have fun and hooray for you for being off from school!
