I am in SoCal. My small rod fishing is geared more around fish that are planned for the table. Sometimes a Bass will get on the line and will be identified quickly as I slack the line. If I know that I can't bring him in quickly I just let the rig loose and the barbless hook falls out of the mouth.
It is more sporting to make sure the fish will survive the battle if the fish is not invited to your table.[cool]
