well, as a person who fishes for wild fish, and can and does treat them very kindly, i realease them when im standing in water, up to almost my knees, any lower of water and the fish could get banged up against some rocks if it makes a quick run, i for one am not happy about not being able to bring a fish out of the water for a quick pic, so, as for most of the rules out there, this one needs to be broke too, i am in no way harming this fish any more than some dude tossing flies to catch these same fish and then fighting it till near exhaustion, which is worse? i do put alot of pressure on them to get em in, so as not to stress them to much, i think its time i get a digicam so i can post some new pics
