There's almost never a situation where you must net and bring a steelhead, blackmouth or king into the boat to release it. However, I have had silvers get so dang tangled and wrapped up it was a project to let 'em go. I feel it's especially bad to bring shaker blackmouth into the boat since they are so susceptible to scale loss. Drives me crazy when I see people mishandle fish they're releasing, and I see it all too frequently. But I'm not sure a regulation requiring they be kept in the water would be functional in all situations. I would support language about minimizing handling of released fish.
