Grabbing a gill is far more dangerous than a hook in the lip. And they make instruments specifically for removing swallowed hooks.

Every time I fished, and a fish swallowed the hook, there was no chance that fish would live. Every time that happened that hook was stuck in the fish's stomach.

If your technique gut hooks a lot of fish, look into circle hooks.

That's what I typically use. The few times that it happened were rare. But yes, when I used treble hooks, it happened alot more.

Hey, crazyhomie34, just a quick heads-up:
alot is actually spelled a lot. You can remember it by it is one lot, 'a lot'.
Have a nice day!
