Is this hook too big for longnose gar?
So I go catfishing pretty frequently and have always used a 6/0 octopus branded hook. I have caught a good amount of catfish and longnose gar with 6/0. I dont mind catching either and am down to catch both. I recently swapped to this 7/0 hook and havent really had much luck in being able to hookset properly and I feel like I’ve missed out on a couple longnose gars from how it feels. Do yall think this hook is shaped weirdly/ bad? Should I swap back to 6/0.
The black one is my 6/0 and the silver is my 7/0
