These work super slick on trout, up sized they do the trick on some gear. I've fished with guys that can in unhook a wild coho with a gaff so quick it's elegant

That's a Rapala hook remover. Do a search on Cabelas.com for hook remover and it's one of the first images that pops up.

Yes that one is a Rapala, but there's several manufacturers of the same style which I've seen called a "hook out gun" more often than not. I have this generic one in the 15" length from Bass Pro. Not cheap but the stainless steel used seems to be half decent so it should last many years or until someone drops it overboard. There is a little bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of where to grab the hook and in what orientation it is very efficient.

Got into some biggies today and sad to say I don't think one around 150 made it. Sucked seeing her go down like that. Really pissed me off to see her wasted. 90% sure she may not make it anyway. Next year better not have this stupid rule

So I guess dead on the bottom doesn't count against tac?
