Nice fish Jeff, Lori has done well mate.

Looks like you have to get out there mate and recover your "Man-Hunter, Gatherer" title mate. Laughing

Cheers, Vince

I will fish anything, but Trout is by far the only fish that really gets me excited.
Those trout that your Wife caught, were worth a week of fishing for.

Tell her nice going.
It takes skill to hook and bring in trout the size of those Morax.

first off she can out fly fish me any dang day of the week! she is good at that, i couldnt flyfish to save my a$$!!!

secondly and i wish she/they didnt, but Lori (the wife) and the FIL believe in catch and release!!

i mean sure i usually release the lil ones, but damn man i woulda already had a creekside fire going and the butter melting!!

The rate of survival for fish exposed to air for 30 seconds was only 62%, and those that were held out of the water for 60 seconds had a mere 28% chance of living to fight another day.

Catch and Release is just a feel good method of fishing. If they are out of the water long enough to pick up and take a good picture of, its more then likely that they are now dead.

Dunno where you found that tidbit, but I doubt those numbers are accurate...

Just looked it up on Google, I know that here there is plenty of debate on catch and release fishing and how likely the fish can survive.

His specs figure as correct. Trout are a bit delicate out of the water. The water pressure is needed to support a lot of their inerds...

There is a trick on how you release them that helps. Hold them under water gently until they swim away by themselves. If they don't...Food.

oh yeah there are a bunch of tricks to help the lil ones survive, well at least a better chance of anyways..

like dont use TNT to fish with....

L O L...Yup dynamite. Bit loud though. Will scare the fish...

By The Way. I have never used catch and release. I eat'em...Yes I do...

hunterjoe21 · Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2008 8:06 pm Post subject: Re: wife went fishing

I don't eat 'em, I just like catching 'em....

For every "expert" you find doubting any catch and release benefits, I can find one that swears it is beneficial...why bother with size or "slot" limits if the little ones or the mature ones are gonna die anyway?
