What's the scoop on fish mortality with catch n release?
I understand you shouldn't be dragging fish in the dirt upon landing , doing the wiggle when releasing it back into water (revolving) and leaving the hook if the fish is gut hooked.
But there is other stuff like barbed hooks, not touching the fish, using a net, even not using a non-rubber one, and even avoid taking it out of the water at all.
I appreciate fish, and don't want to be the reason good fish die, so I'm concerned about these things. I guess I'm focusing on trout and pike with these questions.
