Any slack in the line will allow fish to swallow the hook pretty deep. And the small mouths of bream can make it difficult to remove them.
Soileau has found a solution.
“You pull on the hook hard,” he said. “They’re usually hooked in the top of the mouth, and (pulling on the hook) forms a grove, and you just back it up and the hook comes right out.”
