I’ve caught them with healed over triangular snapper bite chunk wounds…

Holes punched through them by blue herons, and with otter bites ripped off their back. The folks that think catch and release hook needle wounds are cruel make me chuckle.

That's why I flatten the barbs on my lures. Also makes it easier to remove
