My main rule is: if you fish on my pond then you have to use circle hooks. I supply the hooks. 95% of the fish are hooked in the corner or top of the mouth. The one thing that they have to get used to is not "setting the hook". If you set the hook with a circle hook then you normally pull it out of the fish's mouth. Simply raise the rod tip and it will catch in the corner of the mouth.
I watched one young man catch a BG drop it on the dock and then kick it in the water. I confronted him and he said he was sorry but he will not be coming back.

As Lusk sez, "People think fish and watermelons are free.".
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
