In the early eighties I lived in New Smyrna, worked out of Ponce inlet, mate on a party boat. Many times we’ve removed hooks from customers, ( 68 people limit) at there request. The biggest being a double shank 5/0, pushed it through to the barb, snip and out, guy almost fainted trying to push it through.

Nice frog. Get my blades through Amazon

I probably use the black packer most the Greg Stine packer $ 38 delivered

Ya, luv those scissors, I use Anadromous as well and I use fugly junior, and another from a guy , Greg Stine. I do use a steamer on most. I have the original fugly but it’s too big for me
