I'd like to see Bob cut and paste Salmo g's comments somewhere in the website so that these words of wisdom could be viewed by random visitors as well as the hard core (readers of this Board).

As for the topic of how to properly release fish, Bob mentioned a while back that this was on his priority list for the Tips section.

I have raised the question in the past whether it makes sense to fight fish to exhaustion before unhooking them. I suggested it may be better to use a knotless net or a cradle, bring the fish in a little green and then unhook it while it still had some energy. (I've seen too many fish fought nearly to total exhaustion by people who are worse at landing them than I am to believe 'no nets' is a blanket answer.)
