And yes pike are a "tougher" fish but c'mon, the jaw spreaders don't need to break jaws in the process, and if you can't get the hook out ask a fisherfolk beside you for a tip or help.

Question; I have certain hooks that when I pinch the barb breaks off and leaves a nub. Some nubs I can file down but some of my more expensive ones don't. Is there a tool for helping with this problem?
None that I know of, but I have found a particular plier that really makes it easier for me to pinch barbs

How do you post pics? And I will post them.
