The circle hook is attached with a crimp( smaller than most knots)
If all goes well, I pull a grouper out of a wreck.



Otherwise, it is hard work to bust off a snag....
Wish I had me some grouper steaks on the BBQ.... I have released some nice black seabass they make for a good sled ride, just make sure they get back to the bottom
