When I first came here from Ont and found out it was barbless I thought you guys were nuts we never fished barbless. You want me to fish for bass barbless forget it then I found out no BASS man what else can happen. But I went fishing and I found out I don't lose any more fish now then I did before....Ok so I'm not the greatest fisherman.But what I did find out releasing a fish especially one with teeth was a whole lot easier on me and the fish. And Chubb I'm not going to let you talk me in to sticking hooks in my flesh .....again....
