Yes. It was on Ribble fish in at the Tickled Trout stretch.
The hook didn't straighten but was opening up.
I've had others near to 5lb on size 10 to 4 with no problem. But a decent barbel would probably open em up.
I asked if you landed it because had you not, it'd be pure supposition attributing blame to anything. I assume the hook wasn't twisted?
Though I've never had an issue with them, I have wondered whether the fairly large barb and short point could cause problems with hook penetration?
