And the enforcement of circle hooks vs. trebles or j hooks is basically impossible - I'm not sure any decision maker is going to agree to that one..

the only way to fix this is to change the regs!
Why anyone would need a treble hook for live baiting stripers is beyond me , when a large circle is the way to go , and 90% of those fish could be released
without issue.
I agree that hook change issue is a lost cause ,any boat captain should impose this rule on his boat & this is a possibility we could all follow !
