I'm glad to be a kayak fisherman for many reasons... one of them is my reduced impact on the ocean and my ability to only take what I can use.
I've spent alot of time on the party boats growing up and I've seen so many short barracuda have their faces mangled by jigs when getting shaken off at the rail or even worse, some inland goof fills up a buralap sack with a limit and then he's asking back at the dock if anyone wants them because he doesn't like fish. Don't get me wrong, I've shredded more cuda with the jig than I care to remember and when I see fish counts of 40 guys taking 500 barracuda, I can only hope that the loss of life is going to good use and not just cold-hearted sport. If the slime is biting so good that you can get bit every cast, try a fixed single hook Tady C or maybe even try pinching down the barb.
Just my thoughts...
