No fish should be released that way….. Sorry. I like em all.
It was a split second decision. I either did that or dropped her on the floor or gunwale which would have caused her harm. She started having a fit while I was holding her and Jarrett was snapping away. I decided to toss her clear of the boat to avoid dropping and hurting her. It all happened in a matter of seconds.
It was a lucky picture with good timing that doesn’t tell the whole story. But it is pretty funny on its own.
I am quite mindful and release all fish with the utmost respect to them be it a sheephead, carp, walleye, bass, any fish. I am confident in saying I may have saved her life.
Maybe I should have posted this originally as a disclaimer.
