If a fish is hooked outside of the mouth during a professional tournament I think it should not count . Release the fish immediately.
Seems to be a lot caught with a jerk bait while using ffs.

Have you never had a fish slap at a crank bait and get hung in the side? Feels just like a bite FFS or no FFS. Have you ever caught a fish on the stick of 1000 needles aka the jerk bait? Fish slap those and get hooked from head to tail sometimes.

So you're thinking along the logic of the A-rig? They banned the use due to the extra hooks and damage it caused fish.

Dumb, just like all those monster California fish caught on Swimbaits long before FFS that guys had to release because of California’s state law.

I agree, while what Hamner did in the Classic was not as dishonest as what Mike Long did or even Jeff Sprague did rules need updating in the future making some of the fish he caught as non scoreable, weigh-able, can't add to your creel whatever you want to call it

Mentioning Hamner in same sentence as Mike Long is laughable.

I’d say if the fish is hooked in the vicinity of the mouth, the fish was trying to eat the bait.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

The A rig and double fluke were banned because they are designed to catch multiple bass at a time.
