I'm nearly all catch and release for now.
My question is the best way to handle fish.
I ask because I intend to photo every fish I catch. I always have my camera poised and ready to go. If I don't need the net, I just get the fish in, get e hook clear, pull out my camera and shoot a couple.
I notice that the fish really seam to need to recover after this.
Now most likely their winded from fighting me. So would it be better to keep them in the water and rest a bit befor I handle them?
The last fish I fought, just hung around my feet for a long time. He wouldn't let me touch him though.
So for conservations sake, could some one post some do's and don'ts. This way I don't make a fool of myself in the future..
