The larger one was caught on rooster tail spinner (red/black) and the smaller one was on shrimp/hook. I can always tell when someone has hooked a hybrid as they fight/swim left to right, whereas LMB seem to pull directly against the rod.
Thanks to advice on Pond Boss, I crimp/remove all barbs on hooks/lures and cut treble hooks down to 1 or 2 hooks. I dont believe it has hurt my catch rate, but I can definitely say that it helps keep my fish in good condition after being caught/released. I can unhook all my bluegills very quickly even with their small mouth.
Thanks,
Darryl
