I never lost a fish yo yo'ing, never. Everytime I did fish this way was on a comm. license a buddy of mine held. I have never ever cut a fish open that I caught surf fishing that I filleted that I ever found lead in its gullet either. So it either isn't being done that often, or when it is done it is very effective and the angler lands the fish, or its doesn't kill the fish who ate the lead. After all how many floaters do any of us see? Anyone can query a post that I did here that explains it in a finite manner. I did yo yo in the canal once, but I got really tired trying to hold bottom, using 14 #'s of lead weight, standing in the middle of the railroad bridge using a spiral wrapped boat rod.
