Yeah, I really don't ever do that -- but a canoe doesn't give you
much room for leaning, and I forgot my net, so I was trying all sorts
of ways to get him close enough and calm enough to slip a finger
under the gill cover (which you can do on carp without touching the
gills).


Hehehe... In a canoe without a net, I can see your problem!

That's a nice sized fish, I bet it was fun!

Thanks for sharing,
