LOL

you got me!

but in all seriousness...there are few things i don;t go near a fouled fish without - and that's a pair of pliers. Even barbless if foul hooked is tough on the fingers for quick withdrawl.

Isn't that the truth. The hook will get you just about every time if you are trying to use  your fingers.  Foul hooked fish always seem to flop about more than a mouth hooked fish.

I hate foul hooking salmon. It's much harder to control them and not always easy to break them off.

Last fall on the Chehalis, I almost lost a 200 dollar multi-tip spey line after sinking eggs just below the canyon. I was lucky some nice guy just upstream of the bridge brought it to shore and took the hook of for me, otherwise it would have been a disaster.

look at it this way...none of them are biting so they are all foul hooked.
