Thanks monkey bollox

Hi, if you read the thread below you will see why it was neccessary to hold on tightly to the fish. Better that than dropping it on the rocks. The fish was back in the water in little over 1 minute so it was a quick catch and release......

For sure, doesn't happen to me too often though, guess I'm just lucky....but not as lucky as the smaller pike!

Why are you holding that fish like a child. Grip the peduncle and support the ventral side. Or leave the fish in the water and undo the hook. If you are fishing for sport and then releasing, for the most part you shouldnt need to take the fish out of the water.

When you hold a fish the way you did, you are rubbing off its protective slime. Their slime protects them from illnesses Kind of ironic to hold a fish like that if you are planning on releasing it.

@chunky1194 it is incredibly hard to hold a trout of any sort with our gloves, they are so slippery/slimy and move alot

@xmicina amoral?? really?? just because it's "fish-crime" in your country, doesn't mean it's "fish crime" in another. So you're saying we should just kill every fish we catch, right? unless I read that wrong...here's the thing...If all of us who fish killed/kept every fish we caught...then the fish would not repopulate...letting the small ones go or just doing catch and release gives the fish a chance to repopulate and stock the waters.

@xmicina Catch and release is mad ? In your opinion. In the UK most fishing is catch and release apart from trout and sea fishing and then many anglers still release.

It is amoral to release this injured fish, and handling this fish would by in my country fish-crime, you would loose your fishing licence in my country for brutality handling with fish catched. It is beter to thow fish as soon as posble back to water or kill it imidiately. Trout is against law to hold live in net(sack). Catch and release is mad, if you dont want hurt fish, simply stop fishing. There si no way how to fish and not hurt them. Hunting isnt fun for fish, they always fight for life.
