you got lucky dave
No seriously, I just dont like them wierd way to fish for me , I like letting the fish run and setting up hard, also the hooks I use rust out in a couple days if I release fish I just cut the line close to the hook but, most times I can get it out. For me I want them hooked deep. Im old fasioned I guess but the circle hooks are not for me Just as braid is not for me, I will take mono anyday!
