Some good photos there of good fish. May I just say though, while all the other pics demonstrate excellent handling techniques, a fish about to be released should never be lifted as in the first photo.
Excellent point Kasey, That fish was kept!!! will change the picture to the original one we took.
when that fish was landed, it was hold horizontally with both hand support the belly of the fish.
we then realise unfortunately, it was bleeding bad, (it was hooked bit deeper as it swallow the jig bit deep as well). and decide to keep the fish as it was not healthy to be release. it was
one of the two fish kept.
thank for bring this point up, i hope this clears up a bit!
