Circles and Shallow Water

I converted to circles a few months back because I didn't want to deep hook fish. Recently, I've been getting into fish that are in 2 feet of water. The principle behind the effectiveness of the circle is: Let fish run. Then, bear down without lifting to set hook. In shallow water, the second that the fish feels pressure it comes out of the water and it's a top water airial display. The 'bearing down' portion is taking place while the fish is out of the water more than in the water.

My question, finally: Have any of you guys had any negative effects, under these conditions, using a circle? The physics of the entire game are so different when a fish is out of the water.

Thanks,
David
