Catch and release ?

[Deadstream]

Not want to start a fight....   Every picture we take stresses the fish.   Doesn't matter if it's in Phil's  fish aqua photo(I know he takes the best care ever)  or the St. Louis guys with their fillet knifes.  Catch and release means that. Release.     Me.... I  release what I don't need.

Post like this start fights...Keeping fish starts fights, fish laying on boat carpet start fights, Pictures of well handled fish in an aquariums start fights. What is the meaning of this post except starting a fight. If your so tender about a quick snap shot why would you ever put a hook through a fishes mouth. This site is about fishing, Pictures fuel this site. I hope Phil closes this post before a stupid debate.

I said no fights .       It was a discussion about  what stresses a fish...    relax...   Young man I have taken Thousands of fish pictures,  Some I wish I didn't.

I was not trying to discredit you by any means, but i have been a member here for a long time and i know the type of debate this kind of post will entail. Almost everyone here is very cautious on how they treat their fish. Phil has went the extra mile about putting fish in a glass box for a few seconds so the fish can breath while a photo is taken. I just dont understand why it needs to be questioned other than to strike up an argument. His whole business is built around the thriving health of trout on Taney

Phil  and his  aqua tank is amazing.    I just spent 8 days with 5 guys at Lilleys.     They shut the spillway down the day after we got there.  It was 65  and sunny.       One 4ish bow had 28 shad in it's belly.  I saved them for cat fishing.   I'm not try to start a fight aarchdale,  kinda just trying to prove a point.    And its just cabin fever that gets the regulars upset..    Its all about food this time off year.

No worries, i was just saying what will happen with these kinda posts. Glad you caught some, sounds like really nice ones. Were all getting Cabin fever. Taney is a Gem

aarchdale  I knew better,   The point I was trying to make is that NOBODY  will agree what it means.    I laugh at Orvis Guys when I see them.   Not the pros, but the credit card commandos.    P.S.  Phil and his staff were amazing as always.   Had COPD guy etc.   Limits every day and his new G3s are awesome!

COPD is a horrible thing. My dad sufferers from it. And i actually am a RPSGT so i deal with this on a nightly basis doing sleep studies. On the positive it is very treatable

You don't want to start a fight but put the above line in your post. Throwing rocks always starts a fight.

Catching fish puts stress on the fish. Maybe we should give up fishing all together and take of photography. Zero mortality.
