WENT OUT HAD A GOOD TIME WE CAUGHT LIMITS MOOCHING HERRING (CUT) THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE WAY THAT THE WAY THE WILD SILVERS WERE HANDLED BY THE DECK HANDS , USING PLIERS TO REMOVE DEEP HOOKS , HOLDING FISH BY THE GILLS FOR A PICTURES THEN JUST TOSSING THE FISH OVER WHICH WENT BELLY UP RIGHT AWAY OR NOSE UP ! INSTEAD OF CUTTING THE HOOK LINE WITHOUT NETTING AND HANDLING THE FISH. SO AT LEAST THE FISH HAS A CHANCE TO LIVE. I THOUGHT THAT THE RULE WAS TO PROTECT THE FISH NOT HARM THEM DURING RELEASE.. OF THE 20 OR SO THAT WE HAD TO RELEASE ALL WERE HANDLED IN THIS MANNER. I DON'T THINK I CAN GO OUT AGAIN WITH ANGLER CHARTERS AGAIN. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A CHARTER THAT KNOWS HOW TO PROPERLY RELEASE SALMON THAT I COULD FEEL CONFIDENT THAT RELEASED FISH WILL LIVE TO FIGHT AGAIN ??? THANKS
