You are almost right, I'm sure that a small percentage of fish are going to bite the DN but that percentile is very small. I would disagree with you that EVERY fish hooked in the nose is legit. But we will never know this unless some one straps a very, very small camera to a DN. Although I do suspect that shortening your leader will tell the truth about the flossing delema. A coho who is really intent about hitting a DN will not have any quarrals with a 36" leader. I am not passing judgement about this method, but the truth is the truth.
