I don't fish much for musky, just the occasional tiger, but I'm a pike guy, and we release every fish we catch unless its going on the wall, and we use treble hooks, and 15lb mono. I'm going to disagree with the 100% mortality rate, we let the fish swallow the bait, then set the hook we bring them out of the hole, and cut the line as close as we can get to the hook. Sometimes even getting the hook. These hooks are designed to rot out, and they do their job. A few years back, we caught the same fish 3 times. I caught it, cut my line, a day later my buddy caught it, and cut his line, and then yet a week later another buddy caught it and kept it to mount it with the line still in his mouth and the hooks were about 90% rotted. Its not like the fish is going to stop feeding. But I would also recommend not horsing the fish as much as you're more likely to lose the fish.
