NOAA "BARBLESS CIRCLE HOOK CHALLENGE"
Hawaii's fisheries are of great concern to all of us. Change is inevitable and we
face new challenges all the time. We can all help maintain our resources by
trying new methods or ideas that can help the fish and other creatures. We, as
responsible fishermen, can make a difference; therefore we are encouraging all
to consider using barbless circle hooks during this tournament. Using barbless
circle hooks can result in less injury and facilitate catch/tag and release practices
while maintaining effectiveness when catching fish for home consumption.
Using barbless will also help out our fish when they break line and get away.
You can help them more quickly shed the hook and bite your line again.
Something to think about is "What does happen when you bankrupt?" What
could you do to help out anything that picks up that baited hook?
Within the last several years, results from both tournaments and individuals, have
proved that these hooks do indeed catch fish. The National Marine Fisheries
Service, has also conducted research, and has concluded that the barbless circle
hooks are equally effective as that of a barbed circle hook except for when
catching eels for bait. In that case reel in the moray eel immediately after
hooking up. When using live baits tying or bridling is your best bet.
RULES & REGULATIONS
The "Honor System" will be in force during this tournament.
Anglers must be entered in the "2022 P&R Ohana Shoreline Fishing
Tournament" to participate in the barbless hook category.
Anglers must enter in the category at the time of entry registration to participate
in the barbless circle hook category. Check box on entry form.
Anglers must use a barbless circle hook to catch qualifying fish. The barb must
be either crushed down or filed off, to render it "barbless".
Eligible fish species and sizes are limited to those identified as qualifying under
the general tournament rules.
Do not remove the barbless circle hook from the fish, the hook must be
present to qualify the catch. Prior to weighing in your fish please notify the
committee of your entry status and identify your barbless caught fish.
ANGLERS MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN
