>>2324670>I hate gut hooking fish, that's why I've always liked using circle hooks.I've gut hooked countless fish with a circle hook it's not something you can always prevent from happening it can and will happen. I've had Toad fish and a few other fish get gut hooked. Hard to stop fish from biting the same bait the fish you're targeting eats and the size hook you need that fish you don't want can shallow.
