you might need to step up to some heavier hooks..maybe some of those really stout octopus hooks by Owner..I bet finding those straighten hooks raised your anticipation level?

Try a saltwater rated circle hook. Not only do they work well, but the way they hook the fish in the corner of the mouth, makes it harder for them to get leverage and straighten it out.

Good luck,
