Doug installs new hooks...

Good job Doug. And IMHO it's not always the catfish that destroys the hooks, it's the removal process. Awfully hard to get those buggers out.

He’s going to do a video tip every week I believe for the rest of the season. Good video brother.

I agree 100%. I purposely omitted the fact that I often take pliers and rip a treble hook out of the mouth of a catfish. I find it lessens the chance of me getting finned and most of the time it is easier and quicker for me to just replace the hook. Often even if I try to be easy and work the hook loose I end up badly bending or breaking one or more of the hooks. I’ve even been known to clip the split ring and leave a treble in a catfish we are going to keep.

Good video Doug. The split ring pliers are lifesavers and worth a bundle. Some of those kitties just don’t want to give that crankbait back.
