With our clipped-fin only regs here this year .... we're C&R'ing way more fish.

Geoduck is right on ... easy to grab if close to the water. I grab the line with gloves and release it if tension is too great until I hand line the fish up to the boat. Then, I either just grab the hook with pliers or grab the tail wrist and take the hook out then ... very easy with kings, even with bigger ones.

Saltwater fish lose scales easily and should never see ANY kind of net
