Point well taken, we did keep the 2 held by the gills. You noticed the biggest was held under the belly for a picture and was back in the water. Often, like the one in the water, we measure and unhook them in the water. They can be very dangerous, while in the water or boat, while unhooking them. Steve's had 2 hooked fingers while taking out hooks. He uses heavy pliers. He tells the client, they are welcome to keep their fish if they are going to mount them or eat them but if not, take a picture and turn it loose to live to eat some more kokes. He had a request for some mac steaks from a very important client in the community that he had taken a while back and only caught 2 in the 20 to 30 inch range. I I'm not a fish eater but I tried mac 2 different ways. And they are YUCKY, YUCKY, YUCKY. If we do eat fish it is white flesh, walleye, perch or wiper. I just love to catch fish. I think he is booked for the summer but you can call him. 801-572-2024. We had a good day that day and only fished from 12:30 to 3:30 and I had to leave. Some days we fish all day and only catch pups. That's fishing.
