I would not mind going back to 1@ 36" too, but I think that the reason for the circle hook is so that when and if you are throwing back a short fish you are not throwing back a fish that has been gut hooked and is going to die. Two different issues really. Believe me, I do not think as many people kill fish during catch and release fishing as some studies try to make us believe, but the fact of the matter is that it does happen and the use of circle hooks will definitely reduce that number. I do not understand why so many of you are against the idea of saving some fish from unnecessarily dying.
