There is a significant sporting component to this...it does mean you need to be a better fisherman to land the fish.

Absolutely!!! Way more fish get away...with barbed I'd say 80% of Chinook salmon that get hooked get caught even by guys I have out for the first time; whereas with barbless a novice angler will only catch about 33%-40% of Chinook salmon at most.
