I hate it when fishing Strawberry and a Cutt swallows a whole jig. I try to cut the line as close to the jig head as I can and let it go. I wonder if they are still able to survive. I'm sure the most don't make it but what can you do when you have to let them go. I often wonder if the DWR would change the reg that if the fish swallows the jig/lure and you could show (if checked) that the fish swallowed the jig/ure they would not give you a ticket. But then I wonder how my yahoo's would stick a jig down the throat just so they could keep the fish. I always bend the barb down just so it doesn't do to much damage to the fish. Luckily most catches with a jig are not deeply hooked.
