Maybe commercials are hacks too, but I've seen many a schoolie kicked down the beach by people who didn't want fishy hands!
I agree with Sandman, discard is high and unaccounted for, but the bottom line is our hands aren't clean, both in the number we keep and release. I remember bits of those studies mentioned above from a few years back, and I HATE circle hooks, but more and more think it's time to give them a shot.
