IMO, Better to land a fish fast and have a little more time to take a hook out than watch someone fight a fish for 15 mins and have it's mortality rate significantly increased. Again.........IMO! lol

Totally, totally wrong.
With barbless you must keep pressure on a fish so the hook doesn't pop.... that means getting him in ASAP. you can let a fish swim around with no pressure on a barbed hook and he will remain hooked.
Try it your self, drop your rod when you have a barbless hooked fish, he'll get off.
