To ensure that the fish you release survive, follow these simple guidelines:

  • Use barbless hooks
  • Set the hook quickly
  • Play the fish quickly
  • Hold the fish firmly, but gently, while removing the hook
  • Use a needle nose pliers to remove the hooks
  • Cut the line if the fish is throat hooked
  • Gently slide the fish into the water
