Nice tail, but isnt the fish a bit thin? Did you release him/her again?




You guys are pretty rough on Tom!

I think it's an outstanding fish especially first time and from such
small water.
Very cool, Tom.

I don't think anyone is being hard at all. Tom is obviously
enthusiastic and wants to learn so people are providing additional
info.

Everybody who wants to do this right, wants to learn. There's no
problem with his photo because he killed that fish and took it home.
However, if you have to release all but one, it's best to fight the
rest quickly and release them at low risk. Heavier tackle and low
risk photo techniques are better for C&R.
