Do you feel it would be a waste of time to just be honest, but be gentle and explain that...."ya know I spend a lot of money, blood, sweat and tears on these ponds and fish...and I just hate to see them deep gut hooked...could ya really try to make sure that doesnt happen as best as you can by watching and being attentive to bites"?
