Capt Sal as an experienced Charter guy I will take you at your word but WHY in todays age of tackle would a 17" fish have to swallow a hook. I fish on many Charters ans PB boats and ALL fish released swim to live another day.
Now if you are saying that an occasional 17" fish swallowed a hook well thats different story but not the dead discard NOAA says at 33%
