cant wait for fish and wildlife to slam all the guys fishing illegaly in the nsr every day along the banks keeping everything they catch and using tri hooks and 2 rods each, happens all the time down there.

Now if you would volunteer to pinch all my barbs all would be well. (warning-doubtful if anyone has more hooks/tackle than me)
I would be also be choked at myself for forgetting or doing a insufficent job of debarbing.

I dont have much tackle so im willing to help ya

In another thread you wanted to see scientific evidence - What about in this case?
stopping fishing all together would have good results too.

Scientific proof in this case is like proving fish mortality from a catch and release event. Sometimes we need to rely on field experience and just common sense.

i knew you would....and its good interested fisherpeople can have discussions. BUT to back my point the vast majority of fisherman in the province will or would not read our discussion here. The AO membership is great and most care. BUT they dont represent the majority of licence holders. The law is a attempt to try save a few fish by upping their survival chances.

It's sometimes a tricky situation, but I see it more often than not and am never sure how to approach people who are doing it; deep hook set throat & tongue rippers. I seriously blow a valve when I see the 18th century tooth pullers going at a fish. 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?

i agree Gus....but its another case of specific circumstances....what if they dont use the jaw spreaders and it takes 10 minutes for them to remove the hooks?.....kinda have to wieght the odds

It's a little bit of "The tool checklist", we have a box that carries the essentials; a few type of pliers, good knives, two spreaders (for big & small yaps), whet stone, bells, etc. But I'm notorious for forgetting to pack the net (it always goes in last),, I walk around the garage repeating it like a mantra "The Net-The Net-The Net" and still manage to forget it.

... as for the 10 minute thing,, just cut it.

I sometimes feel sorry for fish.

The discus styled release irks me too.

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.

who cares, the regs state de barb your hook, its that simple, you dont want to then take your chances of getting a 200$ fine and or fishing equipment takin away, so pinch your barbs end of story.

I do but there are certain barbs that won't crimp or file down and they are great hooks. Thanks for your great answer to my question.

Hehe, I think he was referring to the debate regarding increased mortality with barbed hooks...

I just don't see how anyone can argue against "barbless decreases mortality". I understand that other options also decrease mortality (bait vs. no bait, trebles vs. singles, fish handling vs not handling, hero pictures vs quick release, dragging across the rocks vs leaving in the water... etc, etc), but that doesn't negate the impact that barbs have on our fisheries.

Anyhow, like I said before, barbless is essential for our streams, rivers and sensitive lakes. The put/grow/take fisheries should be geared towards high catch rates and fun for newbs and kids. The more people we have involved in this sport, the better off we are.

i agree but not many fisherman carry a cutter designed to cut a hook deep in a fishes mouth thats possibly connected to a expensive rapala.
Im not sure cutting the line with a crankbait in a fishes mouth is right.

every situation is different

gus...this is what ive been told....the chemically sharpened hooks are not as brittle....i get that barb butt alot too...i just hit it with a wet flat diamond file. That probably does weaken the hook but its the best i can do.

Hope it works - these pliers are awesome for pinching barbs(but a little pricey).

lol, its the law though, nothing you can do about it, it will be inplace untill next year either way, so for now you have to obey it, ya it is strange how they have the barbed law, yet in the reg on the front cover they have a trout being caught with a rapala, with two tri hooks in it lol, i thought it was strange two tri hooks have to do the same amount of dmg as a single barbed hook if not more dmg, anyways lets see what i can do to please everyone
