[black][size 3]Great photos ABT ![/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Looks like you folks had some good weather to do some good fishing in. Nice looking fish too.[/size][/black]

[black][size 3]I'll second what TD said about the knots, good quality line and a landing net. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]If the fish are going to be released anyway, Often I'll use barbless single hooks on my lures. The loss percentage does increase a bit but, that way, I usually don't have to handle the fish at all - I just reach with the pliers, grab the hook, give it a little twist, and the fish is off and going.
