Fished a hole on a wild-kill river with eggs and caught a hen with a distinguishing mark on its tail...it was a native, and I released it. A couple hours later, when my buddy suggested we head for a cup of coffee, I begged for a few minutes and tied on a pink worm. Caught the same hen, and released it again (hey! there's a few firsts: first steelie on a rubber worm, first fish caught twice, first fish released twice!).

My question to you runs thus: I punched the fish the first time I released it...should I have punched it again the second time I released it? Because I didn't...

Thanks for your advice.

FYI, the dollies seem very very pleased to see those pink worms...particularly after they've looked at eggs for awhile.
