"Billfish tournaments all require circle hooks with bait, live or rigged."Good... you use em! I'll stick with a treble w/treble stinger like I have for the last 40 yrs. I "like" to set the hook...one of the more exiting parts of the catch to me. I believe the problem with gut hooking is letting the fish "take" the bait. When you feel a tap a big bass has that bait....they don't bite it, they inhale it. Stick em immediatly and a majority of the time the hook is right in the mouth. Feed them line, count to ten, etc. and they're gut hooked.
