Don't stop posting reports and photos. Ignore the nonsense. Note Royal Coachmans post count. 1 post. Looking to stir the pot. F it dude. He's from the trout board very few people frequent. Consider him schmeg lol
I'm a conscious angler but I fish a lot, alone, at nite. This makes for difficult moments. It's not always easy to CPR without some shake and bake or what have you. If the fish swims off healthy on its own then you did your job.
Nice fish man...

Why, because I had the fish in the water and while I was reaching down with my hemostats to remove the hook. The fish shook its head and popped my line. So, I had two choices, let the fish swim off with my plug still in its mouth, or grab it and lay it on shore. You'll notice the foam line in the picture because the fish is 6" from the edge of the stream. At that point its already on shore so I took a picture of it. I normally don't remove trout from the water I reach down and unhook them in the water. I will lay a fish on the snow once in a while like I did the other day and take a picture. I know how to handle fish, I know about their slime coat and I know how to tail and revive them. So, thanks for the advice but now you know the whole story. I will go back to lurking because its obviously not worth posting pics. And yes it was caught in Jersey!
