Maybe a more sensitive rod would help you detect the bite quicker and cut down on the fish having enough time to swallow the bait.

I also like circle hooks.They hook fish in the corner of the mouth every time.It takes a while to remember not to set the hook though.I read an article in Feb 2004's In-fisherman about getting hooks out of gut-hooked fish. "1] Holding the fish by the lower jaw, look to see if the hook is embedded in the right or left side of the gullet(the shank of the hook will lie on the opposite side)If the hook is embedded on the fish's leftside(shank on the right side), work through the right gill cover, and vice versa.If the hook eye is out of sight,give a light tug on the line and the eye and part of the shank usually emerge.2] Using your finger ,or a dehooking tool,reach in through the last gill arch on that side of the fish and pull on the eye so it rolls out below the gill towards the side of the fish.3] At that point the barb often pops free of the papery white throat tissue.4]Reach into the fish's mouth and grip the bend of the hook,which should be facing out of the fisf's mouth.5]Pull it free.If the fish's mouth is to small, use a needle nosed pliers to grab the hook bend.

I always cut the line on a gut hooked fish. The hook dissolves in 7 days and the fish lives. I wouldn't want to attempt to try to remove a hook in the gut, too risky unless I was going to keep it and I don't keep em.

cut the line, the majority of the fish live, except if they are bleeding. If they are bleeding heavily, please don't throw them back when they are going to die, its a waste.
Also, if it is a river you fish and you like to use worms, bounce it with the current across the bottom and set the hook immediately. I do it with trout and never gut hook them.

Sharp hooks are the main point in not hooking fish too deep (pardon the pun). I don't have any problem deep hooking fish on any type of hook. You just have to make sure you set the hook when the bass strikes. Usually the instant it strikes it has engulfed the lure. Set and avoid gut hooking.

Everything I have heard about circle hooks is they are a live bait hook?
Will they work on artifical lures??? I use senkos alot and I rarely gut hook a bass woth them, I guess if you fish them enough you can tell the bite fairly quick.

I don't have it often but if it does happen I will either cut the line and throw them back or take them home because the wife likes to eat them on occasion.

I caught a bass a couple years ago with 6" of monofiliment hanging out of his back side, so yes, they do survive. Had to be kind of uncomfortable for him though.
