If I remember right TD did some testing with blue sharks up north and let one eat it for a while and it still gut hooked the fish

With all that said it can be done just depends on how many you want to catch, and how many quick releases you want to have per night
Baby killer Still feelin good about how strong that pup revived up last night. He was kickin up a storm whan you finally freed willy. Cool chit Looks like I'm Grouper fishin Sat and Sun. Whatever happens for next weeknights keep me in mind. I'm due for a bigger fish
