If you used the D-Barb tool on the hooks prior to fishing, you simply
wouldn't catch any. It cuts the whole tip off. But you already knew
that because you checked out the site. Although I am sure you can
understand why I might think otherwise based on your insightful
comments above. Just removing the barb from the hook would be an
altogether different discussion that has nothing to do with the D-Barb
tool. Knowing the above, the rest of the discussion is moot IMO.
