it ' s interesting to me how a blog post that was really about human pain management can evolve ( and i use that term loosely ) into a debate about the virtues ( or lack thereof ) of catch - and - release fly fishing . but what the heck , i ' ll bite on that fly , and you all can decide what you ' ll do with me later on .
if you have difficulty removing the hook the best course of action is to cut the line as close to the eye of the hook as possible and release the fish as is .
motivated by conservation , catch - and - release transcended empty bellies and vulgar pot - hunting to sport hunting with an eco - conscience . anthropologist matt cartmill’s “clean - plate ethic” called to many that felt uncomfortable with killing . catch - and - release , or fishing for fun as it was originally coined , is not just fun ; it makes us feel good about our generosity of spirit in giving a worthy adversary another chance at life . it’s management as morality . however , as jack jelinski , montana state university professor emeritus , tells it , “if you fish—no matter how elegant your gear or how poetic the language you use to describe the experience—you are engaging in a behavior of predation . ”
try fishing with barbless hooks , or crimp and remove the barb . catch rates using barbed or barbless hooks are not significantly different . barbless hooks are easier to remove , and they cause less physical damage to the fish .
use wet hands when handling a fish or a knotless rubberized landing nets ( and rubberized - not cotton - gloves if you must wear gloves ) . this helps maintain the slime coat on the fish , which protects it from infection and aids in swimming . anglers that know how to practice proper catch and release never use a towel of any kind when handling fish since a towel can remove this slime coat .
a blue shark caught deep sea fishing off the coast of nova scotia , canada . one of the first and most important mentions according to the guides for how - to deep sea fishing is conservation . always keep nature first and fun second . fishing for sharks can be an exhilarating experience , but they are slow to reproduce and we must take extreme caution to not overfish . therefore , the catch and release method can be extremely fun and a lot more conservative on the environment .
but in the end , i think we need to realize that a lot of the fish management situations happen with reason , and a lot of that is based on good science . if you ' re going to be a catch - and - release angler , do it right . and thank you very much for doing so . if you ' re a harvest angler , that ' s great , too . abide by the rules and have fun .
i love eating fish as much as anyone does and don’t begrudge anyone who wants to take a mess home with them . i just choose not to take more than i need . i don’t try and fill my freezer anymore like my parents generation did . i do respect those who want to catch and eat their catch , but there comes a point when responsible anglers ask themselves “how much fish do i really need ? ”
do you know exactly what do you do with the fish you caught ? for some , they just keep enough for their meal and release the remainder . obviously , the best fishes are the fresher ones . even if you’re not into preparing them yourself , there are a lot of local restaurants and deep sea fishing services in myrtle beach who can cook up a great meal from your catch .

time is of the essence ! release fish as soon as practical and do not keep them out of the water longer than necessary . try to release your fish gently head first into the water , which helps push water through the mouth and over the gills , and helps to resuscitate the fish . revive exhausted fish by placing the fish in the water , facing the current if possible , with one hand underneath the belly and the other hand holding the bottom lip or tail .
well , like i said in my original post , the stream i ' m fishing is stocked every week . i keep everything i catch up to my limit .
i ' ve seen numerous studies that suggest that , even with the best catch - and - release practices , fish mortality happens - - perhaps at a rate of 10 percent or more . so you tell me who is impacting the resource more profoundly : the angler who fishes once a week , catches a limit , and eats what ' s in the creel ? or the angler who sticks 30 fish a day , every day for a month , but lets them all go with the
clear
conscience of being a catch - and - release angler ? how many fish are suffocated for photographs , put back in the water , only to die downstream ? if you ' re going to kill a fish , you should own that act , shouldn ' t you ?
always release the fish with their heads toward the water . you want them to enter the water where they can make a quick descent to where they came from .
we were the first offshore and deep sea charter boat that started catch and release in the gulf of mexico . we pioneered fishing high in the water so the released fish would have a better chance of surviving unharmed . we use gentle circle hooks that 99 % of the time , curl up perfectly in the corner of the bony structure of a fish’s mouth , which doesn’t harm the fish . these hooks set themselves and the fish rarely ever swallow one . we do all we can to get your fish back in the water quickly , but i love photography and if you catch something special , i might take an extra few seconds to take a few pics before releasing .
crimp the barb on hooks . this reduces possible damage to the mouth of the fish and almost always makes it easier , and quicker , to unhook your catch . a barbed hook is also not fun to remove if it happens to find human flesh .
you ' re not going to catch me arguing about the virtues of one approach over another . that ' s the stuff that makes the peta people light up with glee .
in the us , fly fisherman are usually c & r guys . all the videos , guides and discussions talk about releasing fish and only fishing for sport . a lot of fly fishing videos will actually focus on a dinner by campfire which consists of no fish , despite showing all the fish they catch . many fly fisherman get angry at fisherman who catch and keep fish for the table ; they see it as ruining it for everyone else because of a loss of fish and thus chances to hookup to a fish .
so each area is different and has different norms . in the us , fly fishing is seen more of a sport and you should always release the fish . no one fly fishes to catch dinner and if you want fish , you go to the supermarket . my theory for this is because americans are not pressed for fish as a protein source and value the activity more than the food . also , americans tend to eat very little fish and what fish they eat are usually large predatory species caught at sea like : salmon , shark , swordfish , tuna and these are not species caught via fly fishing .
under no circumstances should you use a gaff on any fish intended for release . even tarpon , who are suction feeders , can be hindered by a hole in the jaw lining .

and then there ' s another layer entirely , and that is , in some cases killing certain fish can help save others . in efforts to preserve native cutthroats in the west , for example , anglers are encouraged to keep the brookies and rainbows they catch . sometimes not keeping a fish is a bigger tax on a watershed than keeping it is .
recompression : rapidly returning fish to depth is the method of choice for returning barotrauma affected fish . a variety of tools are on the market , including descender devices , release weights & baskets , etc .
following are 10 tips for insuring that your catch makes it back into the water for another angler to pursue . while these guidelines are written from the perspective of the trout and salmon fisherman , virtually all of these guidelines apply to other species as well .
in some cases , the best thing we can do for certain fish populations is to selectively harvest . i eat most of the brook trout i catch in the rockies . they do taste good on crackers .
as long as feasible , while launching your catch leave it in the water . if there is no option but to take care of it from the water after that make certain that you get your hands wet . you ought to do this to lower the elimination of its safety slime layer that covers it . the elimination of this layer could make your catch at risk of disease when it returns to the waters .
reef fish may require special handling during release to decrease mortality . this information is based on the best available research regarding reef fish venting as interpreted by a florida sea grant advisory panel assembled to review this research . although the authors realize the need for further study of the influence of venting on long - term reef fish survival , sufficient information exists to warrant providing guidelines to assist anglers in successful release practices .
it ' ll devastate the whole community and we won ' t be able to make our living ,
said chris herpin , a local fishing guide . like him , most fly fishers release hooked fish back into the water to avoid depleting stocks .
all freshwater fish ( to my knowledge ) have this mucous layer . a wet hand or wet towel keeps you from rubbing the film off when handling the fish , while a dry hand can leave the fish open to fungal and bacterial infections after release .
