Great link.....
Dan
![]() Thanks for the link Dan, plenty of good info there. "If not properly handled", I suppose the argument could be made that any fish would have a better survival rate if the line was cut immedietly, than brought to the surface and removing the hook or jig. For the record, this fish was caught in 35' of water and didn't suffer from depressurization trauma, or being delicately cradled like a baby for a couple of seconds.

What if a fish caught a human and held them under water for a number of seconds to get a photo - I wonder how that would feel?
I kill fish. When I catch the Blacks though, I release them in the water as quick as possible; no photo. Get them back down fast. Taking a fish out of the water has to be detrimental to its survival. I remember the first time I caught one, it took me 10 minutes to revive it, stressed me out I thought it was not going to make it. I think cutting the line once you know has lots of merit. Nice job on the HALIS! |

My favorite.....
The best analogy I ever heard that makes a lot of sense is : "Make your dad run a marathon, and when he crosses the tape hold his head under water for a minute and see what happens".

Nice catch! Hey I know that beach, the water is crystal clear
![]() truly pre-Darkhorse, old school Josh right there, well, minus a lingcod or two, and sporting a blingy new ride. I remember you used to CARRY your kayak down to the sand too. My back hurts just thinking about that. Yep thinking outside the box will be most important, in time. I should start.
