i'm a firm believer of circle hooks.. ringed circle hooks even better!!!
but....
study that photo of the YT's mouth!
the hook set from the outside in???!!!!
i've had so many circle hooksets that were so unexplainable, as in "how the hell??"
i've had many outside to inside hooksets, even had one on the upper lip that was outside to inside...
can someone explain??
think about it..
-fish eats bait
-we let fish swallow it and take it down before we click into gear
-we let circle hook find it's way out and into the jaw as fish is running away

how does the hook set from the outside in??
