well excuuuuuse me! But a true die hard C&R dedicated angler would have just nipped his finger off to save that fish! And then some other helpful fish would likely go for that finger tip, and maybe even remove the hook, saving the first from sufferage.
Sorry - I just had another row with the basshuggers united over a legal basket. Doesn't matter that the +14 and up club went for a swim, with a half dozen teens made the journey home. Just loading up my buckets I guess.
Trout are wimps, catfish can take a licking, and keep on kicking. Carp are indestructible! Unfortunately.
There never is a sure thing on releasing a fish, but best efforts can be - well, just that. Especially a water that has trophy fish, or slots, or protected fish - extra caution is due.
Does anyone practice catch and release birding? Or underwater spearfishing - for that matter? [crazy]
