I always fish barbless. Trout, pike, saltwater, it doesn't matter. I'll admit that my motives are selfish. I'm less worried about the sore lips of a fish than I am worried about having to unstick myself. I get my face and fingers pierced at least three or four times a season.
The purpose of being a catch-and-release angler is almost completely defeated when you use barbed hooks. And I don't think a barb gives the angler any statistically-significant advantage in terms of landing fish. If you can fight a fish with your rod looking like this, you'll land most, barbs or not. My two cents.
