While barbless makes it a heck of a lot harder to catch them, I've seen back before it was illegal the damage a barbed hook can do to a salmon, and when it comes to salmon fishing, barbless hooks definitely saves some fish! It's so easy to release them that there is little harm done, and you don't even have to touch the fish, big difference.
