Catch your limit with whatever kind of hooks you want (treble, J, circle). After you catch your limit; switch to circle hooks.
I hate to see a law passed forcing you to use circle hooks, but video like this certainly hurts. There is the outside possibility that he was "hook and lining" and keeping those fish. I didn't see any released.
I don't consider myself as "wasteful" and I don't use circle hooks
I use "J" hooks and let them run to swallow the spot. However, once I have my limit, I try to hold the rod and NOT let them run. We set the hook quickly. You miss a few, but they don't get hooked deeply.
If we find that the fish are so aggressive that we do deep hook a fish or two, we call it quits and give the rest of our spot away to another boat who doesn't have any
I hate to see any of the stock wasted; but not ready to pass another law forcing circles on us (we have enough laws and regulations already).
