Depends what you mean by keeper. When you target t's from yak u run risk of killing it from exhaustion. Usually from boats u use min 80 lb gear w 20 lb drag so u can get em boat side quick nough to decide keep / release. If use treble hook for trap you way increase chance of tail hook n more likely to exhaust. I know this may not b popular but i personally view Ts as bycatch from yak. Not say u or others shouldn't yak fish for ts but my personal decision is to save t fishing for boat.
