    Watching a fishing show where the person catching the ‘walleyes’ in this case, took great care in ramming his large fingers into the gills holding this fish for way too long them dumping them back in the water. I know they like the effect of a large fish but these fish were hooked in the lip and could have been released with out touching them. They need to start looking at them in the net and letting them go quickly. He caught a lot of fish this day , or the same one filmed from different angles, and could have made a better point. Will make me think about how I let them go in the future. Sorry if I hackled a few but in the end I stated we need to monitor how we let them go. I might have missed something also didnt make it to the end of the show.

    Gosh! I wonder what show you are talking about? On the show I was watching that got done at about 8:30 this morning (about a minute before your post) it looked like the walleyes all swam off to me. And since it is TV people probably like to get a look at the fish being caught. I enjoyed the show I was watching!

    I’d like to know what show you watched. I have been watching all morning and only seen one show that I wasnt real impressed with. That show was butch furtman. His net he was using was not a good one for the lake trout he was catching. He also showed poor fish handling skills as they were holding the fish in there arms and letting them flop around on the floor of the boat. I know this is not good for a fish of the trout family as that have slime on the outside that it important to there survival. I have seen butch’s shows befor and he usually always does a good job of handling fish except for this show.

    I think he was watching Eric Olson on Babe Winkleman’s show. He caught some dandy eyes on Rainy, held them up for the camera then released with no harm done.

    The camera angle can be deceiving… but if he slid his fingers well up toward the very front of the chin, especially on a large girl, he should be O.K.
    I watched an infomercial from a Canadian lake yesterday where one guy had a tie on and a Blues Brothers fedora hat and the other was tossing a spinnerbait for early spring smallies.
    It was hilarious to see the spinnerbait guy hoist 14″ males up into the boat with his light action spin rod and call them 3 and 4 pounders… Then he got one about 17″ and called it a “solid FIVE!”
    Most of the professional fishing shows are pretty good…on the hunting side there is a TON of really bad footage every week.
