OK. Yesterday i was bored so i went down to my dock (live on a lake) I saw this big bass, about 1 1/2 feet, so i was like yes im gonna catch it, so i rigged up a pole with six feet of rope, a small hook and tied it to the end of an oar, i didnt have bait so i fished with the gum i was eating....and guess what I CAUGHT IT
well now im worried he will die becuase he swallowed the gum, not the hook though, i let him go
will he be ok, or what am i just worring to much

It shouldn't hurt him at all. What doesn't digest will pass without a problem in a fish that size.

If the bass ingests the gum it will most likely choke and suffocate. However, if the gum piece was small it may make it past the bass's digestive system and the bass may survive.

Fish are extremely delicate organisms. Look at what minut amounts of chemicals in the water can do to fish. Not to mention simple emotional stress can cause physical problems. I think the fish is doomed, but its only a personal opinion

Well fish killer,
I think you have just singal handedly killed all of the fish in the lake. And I can prove it.
Look inside the 1984 National Geographic. The same thing happened in Korea

Chances are nothing. Bass eat many different things. A piece of gum is nothing. He will pass it within a few days. No worries.

yup it's official. you killed an innocent fish. how do you feel going around killing wildlife like that? i'm sure you're real proud of your acts right? maybe i'll come to your house when you are relaxed and make you swallow some bleach so you can see what it feels like to be poisoned in your own home! FISH KILLER!!!

He will probably die. I am not stupid enough to fish with gum though.
