It’s all about fish handling. I caught that big Rainbow 3 times in 4 years. I’ve caught it twice on plugs with no barbs pushed down and once on a jig. Others here have caught that fish and it’s still alive. I say plug away where it’s available. Gotta be careful which line you cross because certain rivers have 1 too many regulations in my opinion. Although I oppose to some of them I will still follow them. There’s theories, opinions and rules! I’m all for the rules even if they suck 50% of the time. Plug away, plug away! The jig is always good if your not sure where the invisible boundary line is........
