(
If!you!are!like!most!fishermen,!and!fishing!is!your!passion,!then!the!one!thing!you!would!want!is!to!
catch!more!fish.!!Have!you!ever!broken!a!line!on!a!big!strike?!!Do!you!ever!ask!yourself!if!the!fish!survived!after!
being!hooked?!!If!your!answer!is!yes,!what!percentage!of!fish!do!you!think!survived?!!Many!responsible!
fishermen!in!the!islands!are!making!changes!to!their!fishing!practices!to!ensure!the!fish!population!will!be!
preserved!for!our!future!generations.!!One!change!fishermen!are!taking!is!the!use!of!barbless!hooks.!
!
One!advantage!to!using!a!barbless!circle!hook!versus!a!barbed!circle!hook!is!that!it!can!be!less!injurious!
to!a!fish!or!any!other!sea!life!that!is!hooked.!!If!the!fish!breaks!off!with!a!barbless!hook!in!its!mouth,!the!hook!
will!probably!dropout!a!lot!quicker!than!if!it!had!a!barbed!hook!in!its!mouth,!causing!less!stress!and!less!risk!
for!mortality.!!This!in!turn!will!increase!the!chances!that!a!missed!fish!would!survive!to!not!only!reproduce,!but!
to!possibly!be!caught!another!day.!!Another!advantage!of!using!a!barbless!hook!is!that!if!a!protected!sea!
creature!such!as!the!monk!seal!or!the!green!sea!turtle!are!accidentally!hooked,!the!chances!of!the!hook!falling!
out,!increasing!their!survival,!is!much!greater.!!A!third!advantage!to!using!a!barbless!hook!is!that!it!makes!
releasing!a!fish!much!easier.!!There!will!be!fewer!struggles!by!the!fisherman!to!remove!the!hook,!creating!less!
time!for!the!fish!to!be!out!of!the!water!and!increasing!its!chance!of!survival.!!And!lastly,!the!use!of!the!barbless!
hooks!by!fishermen!sends!a!clear!message!that!we!are!concerned!and!responsible!stakeholders!in!fishery.!
!
In!the!old!days,!circle!hooks!did!not!have!barbs,!yet!they!were!very!effective!in!catching!fish,!just!as!
your!father!or!grandfather.!!The!National!Marine!Fisheries!Service!has!conducted!sideGbyGside!research!that!

RELEASE AND INDEMNITY
Having received, read and understood a copy of the same, the undersigned hereby agrees to comply and abide
with all the rules and regulations of the Pacific Islands Fisheries Group Tagging Challenge (PIFG-TC) . I understand
that participating in a fishing tournament and the PIFG-TC may be dangerous and could result in personal injury,
including death, as well as loss of property. On behalf of my heirs and personal representatives, I hereby release the
PACIFIC ISLANDS FISHERIES GROUP (“PIFG”), each of its members, sponsors, and contributors from any and all;
property damage and injuries, including death, which I may suffer in connection, or as a result of my participation in the

loss, which I may suffer or incur as a result of my participation in the PIFG-TC.
For valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, I hereby give and
grant to PIFG, its affiliates, successors and assigns, and those acting under its permission or upon its authority

I hereby release, discharge, and agree to save harmless and defend Releasees from and against any liability
