It almost looks like a piercing. There was no way to catch the fish and remove it but it seemed to be doing alright.

Poor thing :(
It got away somehow, so I’d say it’s actually quite lucky.
Relatively, I guess. I wouldn't go up to someone who got shot and tell them they're lucky though because the didn't die from it. It's probably nicer to not get shot at all. Same for this fish getting a hook in it.
I wasn’t talking about being polite to a fish. 🤪 I wouldn’t say it to a guy who had a slight head injury from a tank shell barely missing him, but I’d still consider him lucky.
