Lose the barbs, Mike. I mean it, seriously. You don't need them, particularly on large fish. You'll drop a few fish when they switch directions in close, but it beats hell out of having to go to an ER from where you sometimes fish. Also, if you are out on a rock, try a small lip gaff. Makes life much simpler. Nice plug, by the way, very nice.
