RE: Gone Fishin'! // I'll Be Out of Cell Range for a Few Days on a Backcountry Trip
What a beautiful place! Fishing is part of my work and when I catch a big amount of fish in for example nets I think its really important how you treat the fish! Of course its hard to be perfect and kill or release the fish as quickly as you do but a good plan and picking the fish from the nets into a bucket of water where it can live without suffering until you kill it is pretty much the best I can do. That is also how you get the best quality fish for customers :) unfortunately the low amount of fish in our waters (due to polution and bad bottom quality) is making it pretty hard for the fishermen.
Have a good trip! :)
Ooh interesting that you fish for a living! Awesome to hear that even with large scale fishing like that - you are still being conscious of the fish's life! Crazy to hear how much pollution has affected your water quality - and thus fish quality too.
