I have been having to cut off a lot of hooks while fishing for catfish. I ordered some 6/0 circle hooks to see if they would make any difference. What I discovered today was that the number of deep hooked catfish did decrease by I would guestimate 50-60%. I also noticed that I missed a lot more bites than when i was fishing with 4/0 octopus hooks. I also noticed that more catfish would pull my bobber under and then release it than they did with the 4/0 octopus hooks. Not sure what direction I will go from here. BTW - Utah Lake (at least where we were fishing) was on fire for catfish today. The two largest were Barry caught a 28 1/2 incher and I caught a 29 1/2 incher.
