Don't use barbs, don't use treble hooks, don't take them out of the water.....how about just don't fish???!!!! I am as cautious as the next guy when I land and release my fish but I don't crush my barbs and I have no issues as far as I can see. Its sport fishing for crying out loud! The people I hear crying the loudest are the folks that have a treble in the back of a mack or pogie and that bass is gonna swallow that rig whole and you guys want to complain about switching belly hoos on plugs? LOL! Just fish guys....be good to the fish. Bring them in in as short order as possible and give them a good revival period. Do your best thats all.
