Drifter, I couldn't agree with you more. When i worked on a salmon trolling boat this summer we used the Gaff as a hook remover for the sake of ease and speed, its really quick and easy to just slide the gaff down to the hook and turn it over, and it saves the fish any extra stress of coming in and out of the water and/or thrashing around in the water for a long tine.
