Title: Re: removing fish hooks
Post by TomT on Jun 2nd, 2013 at 3:10pm
I've become a big fan of pinching down all the barbs when I go on a trip. Just don't need to take that chance and also I figure it makes it more of a challenge to land a real fighter. The concentration has to be sharp to boat those high flying smallies.

Personally I think all hooks should be barbless in both parks. I think a lot of fish are killed each year by spending too much force and time getting barbed hooks out.
