I personally don't care to catch them but that's maybe because I have caught too durn many.
@curtis9 Awesome avatar!
As for the pliers, I have a cheap pair of dedicated Rapala split ring pliers that I have no complaints with and regular needle nose for most everything else.

One absolute: Enjoy every minute fishing. Or at least strive too!

Relative absolutes: TX rig and jig tied on always.
