I don't use barbless hooks unless I have to. I did on accident have a barbless hook once and I never lost to many fish. Once I figured it out I tried keeping the line super tight and at the last second freak out of the fish I would still lose them. Also I often like to take fish home and eat them. The only time I really C&R are on very slow days or Big fish. Big fish deserve to be let go plus they don't seem to taste as good.
