God damnit guys even a barbless jig will make a fish bleed if you gill hook them / hook them in the artery.
Should I not even take the hook out? should I just clip the line , or cut the hook with wire cutters, when I see a bass hooked in the gill?
I understand to toss em back in the water asap since I think it clots faster in water. but damn it's such a heart breaker to see.
