Just in front of or just behind the dorsal fin. trebles will get you more hook ups than a single hook. Single hooks will hold better if you do hook a big fish. If you will use a single hook , use a wicked big one , like 9/0. the meat fisherman I know use the big trebles. Could even be 6/0 trebles?
lots of guys use a big treble and just let the fish swim as snagged. this is Ok if the bass are where you are snagging the bunker. If you need to catch bait , put in a live well and then move to the bass this doesn't work.
