Good thread Bruce, last few years, I've tried to unhook more fish boat side on larger fish with a plastic lip gripper and ARC dehooker, also already made the move to in line circle hooks with live bait (i wont fish chunks )when Maine made it mandatory. ..
When fishing for smaller fish, i try to use single hooks on lures and pinch or grind the barbs.
There have been many debates on light line versus heavy line,my thought is the lighter line allows a fish to tire out so it won't injure itself,by light line, I don't mean line light enough to a fish until it goes belly up, common sense needs to apply, and that's another issue upon itself..
