Abstract
Catch-and-release angling has become more popular, leading to the need to identify best practices that minimize sublethal injuries, impairments, and fish mortality. Hooking injury, in particular deep hooking, is a major factor that impacts the viability of fish that are caught and released. This study captured bluegill and pumpkinseed fish to examine the relationship between two types of angling practices (active vs passive) on hook depth and hook location for each fish.
