Holy my smelly socks 2/0's

Well no wonder you don't bent any hooks. For the rest of us who fish size 2's, eagle claw>gammies as far as strength is concerened. Mind you I still fork out the money for expensive hooks for the right quarry.

hey fishfreak i said 40 in 2 days not 1 get your facts striaght, and at the chehalis i fish no.4 hooks, but you are right about 1 thing ive never had a problem with no.2 silvers, however ive recently been buying the black ones and there cupcakes.

2/0?? That's overkill, man. I use size 1 and 2 gammies and lost only 7 coho,
and most of those were from long-distance hooksets or not paying attention.
I find Gammies straighten as well. Not as strong as they used to be.

You better not be talking down to vanilla ice.And what does it matter how many are in your freezer? Biffy might let them go, unlike certain other meat fishermen.

walked in from the hatchery and to my surprise an elder gent was walking away with 4 coho, he was in a real hurry and it was only 9:00 in the morning, something just seemed a little suspicous.

Could it be he found a nice hole and he didn't want anyone to find his spot?

I'd be happy to take those Eagle Claws off your hands

I have only lost one coho this year and I use small hooks, number 2's. I think that it is more on how you fight the fish !!!!!

Relax people!

And, if you don't care what someone else is saying, don't reply to someone else's comment. Simple as that, quit contradicting.

You guys are all acting like my 3 year old and 8 year old kids.

Fish with whatever size hooks you want, bigger does not mean better especially in smaller systems. Allot of the time in rivers that are small in size a small presentation is needed as to not spook the fish. If you put this huge hook with big gobs of roe on the fish are going to just move away from it.

Another tip for the day is this. Dirty water use darker lurers. Brighter water use brighter lures.

Agreed, what difference does it make if Fishfreak chooses to use 2/0. There are no regulations prohibiting its use. If you choose to use smaller sizes, by all means go for it. He has as much a right to use bigger hooks providing he's not snagging them.

Big Steel · « **Reply #12 on:** November 03, 2005, 09:20:51 PM »

I don't care what he is using, never said I did!!!! I am just commenting on his handling of the criticism!!!!

Fish Assassin · « **Reply #13 on:** November 03, 2005, 09:23:06 PM »

My comment wasn't directed at you Big Steel. Just a general statement.

BIG T · « **Reply #14 on:** November 03, 2005, 09:23:53 PM »

If the fish meant to be yours is yours,doesnt matter what kind of hooks you used,is the combination of luck,hook set and fight
