So even though I'm using barbless hooks because we're catch and releasing fish today, um, having a pair of pliers is still really helpful with their bony mouths. Even barbless hooks don't always want to come out real easily. The lures we're using today have all had single hooks. I find it's easier to release fish with them and I do less damage to fish's mouths. We've got a really nice fish here and, uh, We're gonna weigh it.
