i would like to see the use of circle hooks , since i swithed to circle hooks i have had only 1 deep hooked fish , it was pilot error ( i was not paying attenion) and and it was not that bad of a hook, no gills , no guts . i realize that they need to put fish in the boat for ratings but i think it would send a better message to be a little more fish friendly . i hate seeing blood running out of there gills as they hold them up (that is on all t.v. shows) . the learning curve for using circle hooks is not that hard .
