Proper handling of fish to be released

[cool][#0000ff]I am proud to be a barbarian. I have no false illusions about myself and I do not take myself so seriously that I worry about what "the other side" might think. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]What is this "other side", anyway? And why should we worry about them? If you are referring to the tree huggers and the PETA-ites, they are an aggravation but they have no real power. If they are so tough why aren't they out hassling Hells Angels in their leathers?[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I posted it mostly for the benefit of TKB. I know him to be a great fan of the toothless golden walleye. And, I have seen him exacting his own terrible toll upon them. I know he has been chained to his new home and has been unable to break free for a carpfest...or any kind of fishing...so I thought I would try to cheer him up.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Sorry if my morbid photography upsets you. I am personally more upset by the news and pictures we see daily from the senselessness in Iraq and Afghanistan. We all set our own priorities.[/#0000ff]
