Personally, Vince I think you should take the time you are thinking of spending on this research. And use it to plan a bitcchen fishing trip. Just by gamis or owner hooks for the trip.

This is a rainy day project. Bitcchen fishing trips, and even chitty ones, won't be rescheduled just so I can bend open hooks. My memory isn't so bad that I've forgotten the OP can rain for week after week. Since the Republicans decided that online poker is the work of Satan, I've got to find other ways to occupy my time when it floods.

KidSauk,

I'm not advocating anything other than using the same degree of observation and record keeping that serious hunters already use.

You seem pretty angry. I reread my replies, and I'm not seeing anything that comes off as offensive. Nor did I personally attack any of the critics of the proposed project. If the subject of Vision hooks makes you this upset, maybe you should talk with a professional.

BTW, if you had tested your condoms prior to using them, you wouldn't have risked getting HIV several times over. Same as wanting to know which hook is less likely to fail, BEFORE someone loses the fish of a lifetime.

Tell Lupo I said "hi".
