Prolly so.
I even tried fly fishing. I gave up - cuz I got sick of hooking little bluegills.
When I fish wuth hook and line - I use ridiculously large hooks - to keep the little ones from swallowing hooks. The downside? You catch a shitload of bullhead. But at least the big ones put up a hellava fight.
