Last time he said it was 300. Must've wasted 50 hooking us into responding to him. Guy can troll, I'll give him that. Fishing the internet is too easy, though, it's just like snagging.  Takes much more effort to engage in meaningful conversation and debate. At some point, though, you have to  realize that your views aren't welcome and will never reflect the forum's  general opinions. That's when you move on or learn to not express the controversial opinion, thus avoiding ridicule and tension.  Some choose to ignore being polite and using common sense, because they are mentally and emotionally challenged, or they are trolling. Fish ON!

just got back from alaska  sockeye were running tried to fish for them but was told by locals that you had to line them well I hook a lot and was releasing them but again was told that if I wanted to do that then I need to fish some where else because these are what they use to fill there freezers all was done in good taste so I ended up keeping my limit of 3 per day for a couple of days and met people from all over the world   and one gal from my home town here in pa   dolly vardens are just like our brook trout fight a little harder but in the anchor river there must be thousands of them from 2 in. to 20 plus   already looking to go next year  made the trip for under a $1000.00 7 days

I am all geared up with 2 full boxes (250) of 1/0 octopus hooks wearing estaz chenille.....My coworkers are clamoring for me to bring some mud sharks home....Did that once, it didn't seem worth the effort.

so 1/0 guy.. That tentacle puss rig has caught my peak..
250 hooks with a pipe cleaner wrapped (black works best) ripper..
How long do you fish for sharks ? How many do you expect to deposit on the bottom or into fish ? Man that seems like an awful lot for a one or two ought adventure..  
As for your co-workers wanting fish , keep everyone you hook for them because when you drag a fish ask backwards , releasing it is only boosting your ego besides killing the fish before it's time..

Octopus hooks seem to resist snagging.  I had no issues with snagging using this hook last year.  The hook point is curved inward making snagging more difficult.  Tuna, being the superior fisherman that you are, I think you'd know this.

You should have no trouble SNAGGING them for your co-workers Ahole.

We're not talking about the Octopus circle hooks, so I know this applies.
Tie a piece of line to an octopus hook. Put the hook between you fingers . Pull on the line. The upturned eye will tilt the point so it comes parallel with the line. These hooks are great for holding jumping fish and head shakers, but have no advantage whatsoever in non-snagging. Simple grade school ****.  You'd have to be brain dead not to figure it out.

Hey the first NFL game is on tonight,that should trigger a run soon!
The NFL hall of fame finally took in Andre Reed,a local boy from Allentown Pa.,he was a heck of a receiver and had no fear of going over the middle for his catches.

So since this year class is supposed to be small in number the fish should be huge ...right
