All those fish are out of the water ... not in best practice with C&R dont make me draw down on ya & have you reach for the sky(Image removed from quote.)
Danner has a real good video of proper catch & release techniques for Situk steelhead.
I'll put some input here, since I have been labeled deputy dog and deputy Barney in the past for expressing concern about pictures posted on the web for the world to see. I believe Vohs574 had pure intentions and DID express his concerns very politely before being bum rushed by the usual suspects. It sure is a shame that a guy can't get away with stating a conservation concern to fellow anglers without being assaulted for it while some here post pictures of fish bleeding from their eye, on the floor of a canoe, ect and act like it is acceptable and then get butt hurt when you say something about it. C&R fishing causes injury and sometimes death, it is the nature of the beast and I can live with that. I admit that I have handled fish poorly in the past and have been educated by numerous people, articles, and by the school of hard knocks. Nobody is perfect and we all get better at handling fish with each and every one that we bring to hand. We are all here because we love fishing, sharing our experiences, helping others, and to gather information, right?
That's sad.
you can clearly see from the pictures that hes not squeezing them at all...
Click on the photo and it brings you there.
There are more people up here that I see abuse fish, not know regulations, and act like complete idiots when it comes to fishing.
no skates were injured in the process of these pictures.
