Last shark trip, we managed to straighten a hook at boatside on a blushark with enough pressure, making a great clean release for them. Some guys like circles. I used to do a lot of sharking with a boat out of Newport, but it is a 1-2x a year tune-up thing for us now...
Good advice, Also pick up an arc dehooker, saves money on the hooks and better for the blue dogs.
