CATCH & RELEASE

Source: http://www.ontariofisherman.com/catch-release.htm

When releasing fish, whatever the reason, a few widely practised techniques and tips have proven effective in improving survival rates.

	Be decisive about which fish to release.
	Don't play fish to total exhaustion.
	Keep the fish upright in the water.
	Use a glove or cradle, not a landing net.
	Handle fish minimally with wet hands.
	Use a gag & hookouts to remove hooks.
	Cut off deeply imbedded hooks or lures.
	Resuscitate fish until it struggles.
	Do not "hang" fish vertically for photos.
	Do not cull fish from a stringer.
