Well, I am guessing there will be some more of this than usual in and around Sooke this June... What are some oppinions on the best way to release a big hog so it swims off belly down? I am a bit rusty on tailing and can barley reach the water over the gunnel of my Osprey without two feet in the air. I not talking about taking a leak either
I do have a Catch and release bag on one net, but the hooks love to tangle up in it making it a ***** to deal with. The big ones are tough to get at with the gaff to pull the hooks out...And tailing is not an option unless I am on the swimgrid. I know I will be right ***** if i send one off belly up so I am going to switch to single hooks and just hope not many get gill hooked and leak out. The other concern is the mayham destin to be created stopping in traffic, or mid tack to deal with a proper release.
Any thoughts?
