Unless the water is way low and way clear, fish are almost never hook and line shy.

I like using a big ol' hook and pretty much just gaffs a fish in the face when they bite! I don't screw around when it comes to hooks.

Steelies: 3/0 to #2. Depends on water, conditions, and techniques being used.

Kings. 6/0-3/0. Never fished the Kenai, so that's why my top end is so small! eek wink

Chums: 3/0-2/0

Slivers: 1/0-3/0
