Circle hook or j hook?

So I’ve been fishing the gulf flats for about a month now targeting redfish, founder, spotted trout and Spanish. I’ve been using a circle hook but recently someone fishing there said if I want to hook onto bigger fish (30 inch plus) I should switch to a j hook because it’s harder for the circle hook to penetrate a larger fish. I was wondering if this is true and if I should switch. I’ve been catching reds and everything else just fine on a circle hook but the biggest one if caught has only been 19 inches. I have gotten bigger fish on the line but then they spit out the hook so many I should switch. Not sure…
