I have to side with those that use circle hooks. I have been using them for years here on the east coast fishing for flounder and red fish. I use circle hooks for just about everything now. I catch pompano, black drum whiting and sometimes sheephead. I do really well with circles and gut hooked fish just don't seem to happen. This is very true while fishing for the reds. I also feel like I do better on flounder due to the fact that the fish are nearly always hooked in the corner of the mouth. Fewer lost fish. Never had a problem with releasing fish. They work for me.
