Default Re: Fluke Hook Size

Fluke have humongous mouths but a 9/0 hook seems crazy. I know there's a guy here who gets lot of heat because he proudly dead sticks size 4 hooks but he claims next to no gut hooks. I'd say a 4/0 to 6/0 is reasonable and those mortality numbers are more due to mishandling than anything else. I can't remember the last time I gut hooked a fish that wasn't a keeper in that size range.
