Great Article- Fish Handling

[[email protected]]

With the steelhead moving in, and lakes opening up, I think this is a great time to review fish handling tactics.

This is a fantastic article outlining these details, and why they are important

I agree, I hate watching fishing on youtube or tv and seeing fish handled very poorly.
Also a very good article!

Great article.

I'll admit - I've lipped a few bass for the ceremonial picture trophy. But always sent them back away to fight another day.

As we move forward towards responsible angling, it will be important to encourage anglers and photographers to capture images of best practices

This is my general philosophy. Even if I am keeping the fish I do not post pictures online of a fish that was mishandled.
