hahahahaha.....thats exactly why I don't troll rapala's ....and NEVER EVER with both sets of trebles installed. always remove that front treble if you MUST troll one.

Could you imagine if that was hooked closer to the tip of the tail....what if it snagged your sleeve/arm....or face.

Also rapala's almost always tail hook threshers, which is not desirable for two reasons.....
the fight is much less exciting, and much shorter due to lack of water moving thru the gills.
and by the time you get in next to the boat after being pulled backwards it will be pretty close to dead, although they are so tough I don't think it actually kills them, but why risk it if tsharks are not your target.

Cool pics and great release!!!! be safe out there!!
