...Very rarely do I crush barbs. If I'm targeting schoolies, I rarely use trebbles, single hooks only. When targeting an area with potential large...it's show time, and anything goes. However....if I'm fighting a fish for more than 4 minutes I cut the line. I'd hate to fatigue him so much that he doesn't recover. Sometimes I perform CPR on the fish also...on bigger fish it's much harder as their mouths are so much wider than my own. I almost lost my head once, he had a double jointed jaw...he had me looking like I'd been wearing a mask and snorkel for a week....ring around the face.
