Re: Trash and the poop dog wars
You have your opinion Mups and I respect that. Let me tell you that the waters where I fish, the owners of said waters have, to a man/woman, banned the use of barbed (even micro-barbed in some cases) hooks and I fully agree with them. You will not find a single barbed hook anywhere in my tackle boxes. "Catch and release" is just that. I use a landing net to support the fish as I removed it from the water onto what is known as a "carp mat" (a plastic covered, foam-filled water-proof mat). This mat is used to support the weight of the fish while I gently remove the barbless hook from, hopefully, the fish's lips, other wise I use a suitably sized disgorger. The fish is usually out and back in the water within 5mins tops (actually most fish can live out of the water for more than 10mins so, 5mins is no problem for them).Re: Trash and the poop dog wars
