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.

All too true. We've had some discussions on a sw forum regarding proper
techniques to catch and release bluefish. Many just treat this as a trash fish,
undeservedly, or are afraid to deal with their teeth.

For me, I catch so few large trout, that when I do, it's all I can do to decide
what to do with the fish. I never tire of reading reminders about proper fish
fighting, holding, photo ops, releasing so that somehow my dense braincells
will retain this info in the heat of the moment.

Congrats, Tom, and thanks to all for sharing tips ++.
