Craziest run-ins with F&G

[Tazasorus]

I ran into the same thing with one of the guys up at Challis. I use Gamagatsu hooks, and I have noticed that when you go to bend them down, most of the barbs will actually partially break off, then you have to try to scrunch that down. He accused me of not even bending it at all. I pulled a brand new hook out, handed him my pliers and asked if he would show me the proper technique, all the while the second officer stood on the road with his hand on his gun, both young officers, both very aggressive. First thing he did was break off the barb, that even made him more irritated. Fortunately I had another rod with a jig on it that was all the way bent down, I showed him that and he let me off with a warning. He ran the hook down the sleeve of his shirt and told me if it grabs fibers that it is not bent down enough.
