That means using a gaff for me, what do you guys do?

Last I checked in Utah you cannot use a gaff.[frown][/quote]
My gaff is a home made gadget version that doesn't puncture or hook the fish. Needed to do that because of following Catch And Release except on very rare occasions. My preference is to C & R a dozen small 2-5# fish in one hour instead of spending one hour safely tiring and releasing one very large fish. Quickly releasing a big fish without exhaustion allows me to catch more fish per hour.
