Proper Fish Handling prior to release - OldTimer - 05-28-2012 03:27 PM
I really hadn’t read (or paid attention) much in the last decade or so, on the current ideas/research/findings regarding released fish handling…….. But a recent post on this site got me looking about a bit on the net, just for interest’s sake..
I report that I did learn more than a few new important things – on how I might dramatically increase the chances of a released fish surviving my “catch and release” techniques……… perhaps you may too………..

Only if you catch a Canadian Goose.
BTW - if you do hook one - keep your rod tip down...........keep your rod tip down.........etc...
