Thanks for the advice guys. Circle hooks are a good idea if you live bait fish. I allways use them when I flathead fish because I let the fish take it so long before I set the hook. When I use live bait for pike I usually fish a jig so I set the hook quickly. Waiting to set the hook will result in bite-offs. If I find them I'll make sure I post with some pictures.
