Hook going back into live bait ruining bait - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have only found this to be a problem when the hook is too big for the bait.

Takes a little practice to do it fast but I found the baits swam better, lived longer, the hooks didn't turn back in to the baits, and I could use bigger hooks. Mike

Thank you, I knew I had seen this on here. I think that looks like a great way to use circle hooks on live mackerel.
