I read your earlier post but had to run before I had a chance to respond. I can only speak for my own experience fishing with Bob and it was very positive. I spent two days with him about 2 1/2 weeks ago and all of the fish we caught were treated with the utmost respect and care for their survival. They were only removed from the water to pop out the hook and quick photo and revived, released when they were ready.

I've been steelhead fishing alot of years and have released hundreds of steelhead so I do have a clue as to proper technique and from what I observed, Bob is a man that practices what he preaches. I can't speak for your experience since I was not there but those are my observations.
