All this debate concerning catch and release got me doing some reading. It sounds like one great way to reduce salmon mortality is to employ circle hooks and lures (instead of bait). Research shows that circle hooks almost always result in fish getting hooked in the corner of the mouth, instead of being swallowed, gills, etc.
I've never tried them, but my reading has me wondering....
Can anybody with circle hook experience comment?
