Newbie Question - Foul Hooked Salmon

RE: Newbie Question - Foul Hooked Salmon
Like Toasty was saying, once you see it's foul hooked you can point your rod to the fish and hold your spool to break it off. When stream fishing you should use a leader that's lighter than your main line. Your floats and shots stay on the heavier line so you don't lose them if you snag a tree, branch, rock, whatever. Muskiebait taught me this and it's saved me a lot of tackle. You'll rarely loose your rig.

People yell at other to break off snagged fish because, if the fish is eventually landed, it'll be more exhausted. That, and it takes up their fishing time and space.
