Release it in the best possible condition
Prepare first
Use tackle strong enough to shorten the fight. Keep pliers, a rubberized net and a dehooker within reach.
Handle wet and level
Wet your hands, support the fish horizontally and avoid touching the gills or squeezing the body.
Minimize air time
Keep the fish in the water whenever possible. Have the camera ready before lifting it briefly.
Remove the hook safely
Use a dehooker. If a hook is deeply embedded, cut the line close rather than causing more injury.
Revive and release
Face the fish into clean current or move it gently forward until it maintains balance and swims away strongly.
Deep-water species may suffer barotrauma and can require an approved descending device. Follow the method and depth rules published by the local fishery authority.
