I think most of us have the right idea here. My main takeaway is that we need to normalize water releases and make them cool again. If you need a good picture of a big one, make it 20 seconds or less.
Guy that lives on the same chain had an interesting suggestion after watching a group of three older guys spend several minutes taking photos, etc. with a fish that clearly was in the low 30s before finally returning it to the water. He suggested that you would be allowed to remove a fish from the water and measure it to see if it met he minimum, 40" on this chain, but if it did not you would have to immediately return to the water. You could hold the tail and take a photo in the water but no photos out of the water for fish under the minimum. Would prevent the spectacle of guys keeping a small fish out of the water while they pose, pass it around, etc. I think such a reg. would have a snow ball's proverbial chance, but, who knows. |
