How do you release a fish without bringing it in the boat?? The regs now say it is illegal to bring a fish into the boat that you will not keep. If the lip grip tools and the tailers suck, how do you get the hooks out? It would be hard to net them and get the hooks out and then release them. You can't exactly grab them by hand. Don't want to grab them by the gills. How would you do it?? How are you going to get an accurate measurement without laying the fish flat??

I can see guys reaching over the side with pliers and a nice wave taking them overboard.

What methods would you guys suggest? I am talking in the salt in a 19'+ boat.
