12/0 circle hook in a hot dog should work with stand up tuna gear.

While that's a great idea (why didn't I think of it); some of the "spectators" would have died to hear the pigs squealing and being "fought" on heavy tackle.

Barbless 12/0 circle hooks would be more humane

Mary,
When I was with Animal Control we had a rash of complaints of pot belly pigs. It seemed like everyone wanted these cute little pigs until they grew up and put on about 200 pounds and they cut them loose. We did use humane traps to trap them because there was no way I was going to run around in circles chasing after them, those little guys are fast. Thanks for the laugh that was a good read. All by the way I have not heard from Rich, have you given him the rod to be fixed.

Steve; Don Richitt has the rod. His post is just above yours (Drichitt/Hunter).
Maybe you can contact him through PM on the board.
Stay in touch.

p.s. The pig was a lot quicker than the cop
