Here is a link which shows you how to unhook a deeply hooked flattie Planet Sea Fishing Digital Magazine
Watch this video a few times and get it clear in your head what he is doing. I do it all the time now and it works brilliantly. If it doesn't come through the first gill, flip it over and try the other side. It is a little tricky at first but soon becomes easy. This can be used on any round fish as well I suppose.
I still cant understand why comics like Sea Angler don't run a article on this instead of promoting cutting off the hook and throwing it back? I have emailed them before with no response.

, my points , i hate coalies especaily when you put a couple of live blacks and a crab out and it gets nailed by a damn coalie! so i couldnt care less if every 1 i put back went belly up but that is my oppinion

(To the tune of slow clapping)....Well aren't we conservation minded

Mate we all started off somewhere ! so you was born the perfect angler then ??? you never stop learning when your fishing .... you pick up tips all the time ! ... seriously you need a life ! let the lad learn for himsel and let him take onboard advice when its given to him !

You can always cut the line and leave the hook in. Personal choice but I'd rather lose a 20p hook and watch a fish swim away than rip its guts out and chuck it back dead

exactly you hit nail on head mate,

just snip line as close to the hook as possible and tie another hook on, this way the fish lives.
No need to pull away with pliers just to get your 20p hook back
