I own one of those laker savers but have only had to use it one time (but then again, I don't get up to the Gorge to mack fish much).
That one time I used it, in stead of hooking it with the point going down from above into the he fish's mouth, like a dork I stuck the point up from under the fish's mouth. Needless to say, once I got the fish down to the bottom of the lake, the device would not come loose. So, I had to bring that poor fish all the way back to the surface, connect the descender back on the right way, and send the ole girl back down again! Bad ... bad ... bad! fortunately she did stay on the bottom.
So when using one, hook it in the fish's mouth as shown in Tarponjim's avatar picture.
