I love bass and want to share a meathod which will save their life.I really don't care much about anglers fighting up about how to hold them and what not,plus a little mud never hurt anybody.
Here is some good advice for you all.Pinch the barb down on anything bass might swallow,you can even do so on your lures,its good even incase someone gets hooked.If you throw back your fish like I do,pinch the barb.I'm tired of seeing bass die to a torn gut.I've killed bass this way before,but not since i PINCHED THE BARB.I learned this as I got older,A bass swallow my barbless hook ,after I removed the hook I kept her in a holding tank for 2 hours and the bass was fine,minimal bleeding .Its that damn barb that kills them.PINCH YOUR BARB PEOPLE JEEZ!
