Did you miss the point or do you just not care or understand? Powerbait for C&R you probably killed 50% or more of the trout you "released".Originally Posted by hookdfisherman

Feeding the bass is fine with me...... but i'd say more then 50%chance those "released" trout die or end up where they belong in a bass's belly!
Jenks lake bass are more likely to end up in a trout's belly.
that explains why ive never fished it or heard much about it hahahaha
If you are going to C&R you should use barbless hooks you should use lures you shouldn't use bait.
That's my opinion and I'm not going to change it. I will always respond to posts that are indicating C&R with powerbait. Even if you do not agree I do it so others hopefully do not do the same. I don't like the idea of catching fish with 2 or 3 hooks dangling out of their mouths, you are fishing in a mountain lake not a pay to fish pond. You do not know the end result of your efforts just because a trout swims away does not mean it will survive. When you gut hook a trout and are pulling it in by line that is doing damage.
Sorry will never agree there are so many other ways to catch trout that are just as effective if not more effective than using silly puddy.
Well said. I think I am having a Deja Vu again......

if you are really worried try barbless hooks?
leme ask you this how would you like a hook left in your throat? kind of ironic you name is hookdfisherman...
an i think if a bullet was in seals brain he wouldnt have any opinoins as to what to do he would be dead but good analogy i guess...
an leme ask you this if you were a fish that was gonna die would you rather feed someone or wash up onto shore with three hooks in you throat?
By the way Hookdfisherman I appreciate you be measured and at least listening without a harsh response, others have not when this discussion comes up, thanks.
I like lemon twist combined with garlic in green. You should really be using a treble hook size 4 with at least a 1oz sinker so you can get out to them honey holes.
Have at it!
