Fish survival post-release....
« on: May 14, 2019, 10:42:08 AM »
Long but very interesting read... especially the release after a long battle being better than a short one ...

Interesting indeed, and encouraging for us smaller built anglers who can't winch a big fish in at high speed. I always felt a little guilty for the time it took me to land a fish, seems this was better in the end.

Looks like the secret is to allow the fish extra recovering time....

I wonder if this would be equally applicable to  small and large mass fish such as tuna and bills...  :dunno:

Excellent article. Thanks for sharing. I get so cranky when I see videos of people landing Geets by dragging them over the gunnel and whacking their heads on the deck while hi 5 ing their mates  :unhap :unhap :unhap


I can see myself ending up never taking trophy release fish out of the water. Just a pic over the side of the boat will do me fine.
