Well, speaking of lmb, I must agree that they like bigger lures or flies mostly, but there are exceptions, and sometimes using small flies willget more strikes from big fish than using large flies, I had an experience with those really small flies I was fishing a trout pond using a size 18 bloodworm and got an 8 lb lmb!!! so I just think that they might eat what ever looks like an easy meal .

CC, wow!
I know that one of the considerations of using larger hooks is their ability to embed and hold securely. The size 16 I was using normally purchased into the "skin" lining the inside of the lower jaw. It almost always held securely enough to turn the fish on a tight line.
The few on which it pulled loose deserved their freedom. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif
Just my outlook on things.
