I wouldnt be so sure . Have ever hooked an acrobatic , frisky 5 lb rainbow on a barbless fly in fas****er. I fished barbless alot before the law came in and alot of the bigger fish were hooked in the corner of the mouth at release time but were bleeding from other places inside the mouth. This leads me to believe that the hook is coming out and hooking in somewheres else between hook set and release
Big frisky rainbows got lots of fight and even the best fisherman cant always keep up.
