I tell ya, thats a big part of the reason I seldom use treble hooks. I'm not sure if thats what got ya, but ouch either way. I'm a member of the "past the barb" club myself. Y'all are getting good at it 🤣
That was a hog there Scott, 19 3/4” ….beauty! Right there is why I don’t like trebles and prefer soft baits with a single hook. Doing most of my fishing solo, I don’t need to try to remove a crankbait from my hand or leg or any other part of my body but I know it’s bound to happen sooner or later.
