Similar pattern that has accounted for a number of trout for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2M1...ature=youtu.be

Braining: I've caught atleast 3K Trout, 4K Bass and numerous other fishes over the years. I have "brained" 2 bass on 2/0 and 4/0 EWG plastic worm hooks tied into big shad patterns. I've gilled 4 Bass and a Striper bad enough that I believed they wouldn't survive, and 2 of those Bass proved me wrong after putting them in a fish cage overnight. I've gilled 3 Trout on tandem hooked streamers bad enouh to kill them. Since I have gone to keeping the front hook and cutting off the tail hook on big nasty streamers, I haven't had any fatalities and I generally hook fish in the corner of the mouth from the inside.
