No Mark, no hooks were never straightened. The Owner hooks have a larger gap and I think a faceted hook rather than just a round hook that comes to a point. Also, the hook tip points back toward the shank. At my old rock, I was able to watch what the fish did when hooked, diving for the bottom and then spinning like a top. The Gamakatsu hooks were leveraged out of their mouths much easier than the Owner hooks. I caught a lot of steelies back in '06 and '07, so the stats used in my data represent a large number of subjects which makes for a more accurate experiment. I fought all the fish about the same, kept constant pressure on them and got the line onto the reel as quickly as possible. Used the same rod, reel and tackle, not counting the jigs.
