so when I was eleven, and came across a Princess of Mars, and a little later Tarzan of the apes, I was hooked through the gills. I had always wanted to be a writer, seemingly from birth, but when I found Edgar Rice Burroughs, I knew I had to be.

ne fui completamente preso / affascinato
certo, può darsi che ci sia un'altra espressione equivalente, ma dal senso ho trovato questo... Inoltre (Garzanti): to the gills = completamente;
Letteralmente, come saprai, hooked through the gills significa Preso tra le branchie - preso all'amo.
