One thing on going with barbless hooks is the new school of thought being the hook has a greater opportunity to pierce the vital organs. Some studies indicate barbless vs. non-barbless shows no statistical difference in survival rates. My gut still says barbless does a lot more in the way of preventing jaw damage so I go with my gut.

Also when leaving a hook embedded a small amount of line should be left just outside of the mouth so the hook will sit in a favorable position prior to decomposing.
