The through the gill technique works better than anything else I have seen. I know it works because I was recently on a fishing trip when our guide deep hooked a bass and caught it again the next day. It works a lot easier for me on fish that are over two pounds because on smaller fish its harder to get through the gill slits. It also seems harder on hsb because their mouths are smaller. Thanks shorty for posting the article from in fisherman. I'm going to print it to take with me.
