"Plain and simple single barbless no bait has significantly lower hooking mortality that barbed, trebles or bait."
Are you aware that WDFW has publicly stated in their written comments in the 2004-2005 sport fishing rule proposal changes that "research doesn't indicate that barbless hooks reduce hooking mortality"(see WDFW written commits on page 39 of there rules proposals that were turned down)? So who is right about this barbless hooks theory… you or WDFW? There seems to be a big difference of opinion here!

Is there a double standard going on with WDFW?
