Last week I was out at one of my favorite fishing spots and an elderly gentlemen (if you want to call him that) next to me brought in a large male pink. He dragged it up on the beach and then walked around with it - and I thought to myself - I guess he is going to keep the fish. Then I see him pitch the fish at least 6 feet in the air and the fish hits the water with a large splash on its side. Then in the next few minutes I see this same fish float by me - its head in the air - gasping for breath. I thought to myself Jezzz man if you werent going to bonk the fish and keep it at least you could do is let it go nicely so hopefully the fish can make it up to the spawning ground to replace then next generation of fish - For us all to keep fishing - I just couldnt believe it. My point is if you arent going to keep the fish - at least let it go nicely!
