ok maybe i didn't get the total understanding of your article you wrote.but it seemed to me that you said if you use over a certain length of leader then people are snagging fish. I will agree that if a person keeps a fish that is not hooked in the mouth that is unethical. i use long leader's on most of the rivers i fish but not all the time. and if i floss a fish so the term is used i release that fish. ninty five percent of the fish i catch are released anyways to swim another day for somebody else to catch. i fish to have fun not to keep and eat the fish. this last december i caught four fish pushing twenty pounds on the cowlitz glow balling at night. and everyone on of those fish went back in the water unharmed. anyways didn't mean to upset you i will read the article again and see what idea i get from it again.i guess maybe i got over heated when i started reading and didn't get the full effect of your article that you wrote. well good luck to everyone and keep your lines tight
