============================
"I did cringe a little when I read the part about "measure the fish, take off my vest, unzip the back compartment, take out the camera, unzip the camera case and take the picture." I think a lot of anglers do more harm to fish by depriving them of breathing than anything else. If I just finished a marathon, I couldn't hold my breath for more than a couple of seconds"
==============================
Take hook out 10-20 seconds

Measure the fish 15-20 seconds

Take my vest off 5-10 seconds

Take out camara 10-15 seconds

Unzip camara case 45-60 seconds
(take gloves off, turn on, take picture, take another, go set camara down)

Pick up fish for release 10-20 seconds
and release.

Just adding up the conservative column adds up to over a minute and a half! WOW!

As stated previously, go run a marathon and then be forced to hold your breath, You made that fish hold its breath after probabally a good fight for atleast 1 1/2 minutes.

VERY POOR,, you should have just cut it into steaks.
