Free gaff - JapanRon - 05-19-2003
Free gaff- As an angler, I do not feel that free gaffing is playing fair. The so-called 'technique' is to sight your quary along the boat, and with a long handled gaff, get the fish without it being caught on hook and line.
I'm sure this is illegal in many states both in fresh and saltwater.
