Sorry guys, I can't help it if I don't think that there's anything wrong with lining fish..... Yes, I do it all the time and I regard lining as a valid tactic. If a fish is hooked in the mouth, it's going on the grill,simple as that. I could care less if the fish intentionally bites my junk or if it gets hooked soley because it was unlucky enough to have it's mouth open as my 10 foot leader comes drifting down to it. I know, I know, this is going to piss you guys off, but I really don't see the difference between a biting fish and a lined fish.
