Easter Sunday morning, I had some fun fishing this single barbless hook, artifical lure only, no bait lake with my wife. On a small jig with the barb pinched down, I caught a very feisty tiger trout of 15"(released). He jumped at least three times! I had another solid strike on a spinner, but missed him on the hookset. Both strikes occured on the timing of a bug hatch with rather natural appearing lures.
