Catch and Release methods

[Green Light]

Personally, I:

1. Use the least amount of hooks possible.
2. Use properly sized tackle to bring the fish as timely as possible.
3. Handle the fish with care and respect.
4. Revive the fish before releasing it.

PS

When I chunk, I only use in-line circle hooks. I have never lost a fish due to a gut hook using an in-line circle hook.

The use of single belly hooks on plugs (instead of trebles) is very interesting. To be honest, I have not tried them yet. Logic suggets that they may actually hold a fish better than a treble hook once the fish is hooked.
