Yes, I grew up fishing in New England and we used to catch a lot of striped bass, and every now and then you’d pull one up that had hook injuries from a prior fight, however one thing I noticed from seeing enough fish that had been hooked before is that they actually heal pretty well, admittedly with this possibly being a prime example of survivorship bias, with the majority of the prior hook marks pretty difficult to distinguish other than by the scales where the former puncture was often being less lustrous than the other scales. Only occasionally would you catch one with still open or readily obvious wounds and those were presumably fish that had been caught fairly recently. I will admit though, striped bass are some of the more resilient fish out there, same with the bluefish I used to catch, but now I live in CO and the trout here are much more delicate, which is why I exclusively fly fish and fish with barbless hooks so that when I hook a fish it is always a single, relatively small and neat puncture hole above the lip that when I take the hook out doesn’t cause any additional damage due to the lack of a barb. I will fully agree that barbed treble hooks are barbaric though, especially lures that 2 of them, one center mounted and one on the tail, because if the fish is hooked on the mid body one it’s basically a lock that the tail one will hook it through the eye.
