How To Release A Big Catch Unharmed For The Record
United Press International outlines proper catch and release methods for gamefish. Pulling firmly from the mouth risks less harm than manipulating the gill area. Use a net to land deeper hooked fish, remove the hook with long nosed pliers, keep the fish in water, and return it promptly to swimming condition. Avoid touching the fish, avoid playing it to exhaustion, and recognize that seriously injured fish may not survive. Regular release of trophy fish benefits others when done correctly.
