Preserve Your Trophy
Please Practice and Promote Ethical Angling & Catch and Release!
Carry a camera and a measuring tape and use this formula, which is
fairly accurate, the weight = (length X girth X girth / 800 = lb.). This should give all the info needed for bragging rights without over stressing the fish. Once you land that trophy fish of a lifetime, it's your choice to kill and have mounted, but there is a better option. You can send a high quality photo and measurements to a professional taxidermist where they can make a reproduction of the fish that you caught and released.
When releasing a fish, attempt to handle it as little as possible while returning into the water! Don't hang it from the gill plate! Try to keep the fish in a natural horizontal position as much as possible. While releasing the fish, be sure to be facing it upstream in a slower current. This may require some extra time and effort on your part to allow for oxygenated water to pass through its gills, take your time for it's proper revival, which can take up to 8-10 minutes. You'll know when the fish is ready, it will have good balance and will aggressively start to pull away from your hands. What a great feeling! |
