Super nice fish! A fish that big takes more than luck and you have demonstrated some real skill in bagging that big boy. Thanks for sharing your procedure and if something works for you keep doing it.
Personally, I use a trap hook and I caught a 15lb hali today that I would not have nailed without it. You can also use a single J or circle hook instead of a treble as a trap hook and avoid some of the damage that others have mentioned.
