"The Handling and Release of Fish"," Not only does this activity provides recreational benefits to the occasional fisher but also provides input to the local economy, as food for the recreational angler and as a commercial based food for consumer marketplaces. Fish are popular as an excellent source of protein while being low in fat and sodium. In addition, these programs can offer an effective means to conserve fish. In either case whether it is mandatory or voluntary certain care should be exercised in order to maximize the fish's chance for survival. As such it important that your equipment be of such design as to closely match the size of the fish you are after. Once you have successfully landed your catch try to minimize the amount of time which the fish spends outside of the water. An unresponsive fish most often can be revived by forcing a flow of water across its gills. Slime Loss is another hazard of the captured fish. Rough handling of your fish often damages this protective coating placing the fish's life in jeopardy. Always handle your fish with some kind of wet towel or damp hands. Exercise extreme care to prevent the fish from obtaining wounds or losing slime by flopping around. Certain tools are useful in this case, such as needle-nose pliers or de-hookers. Always avoid treble hooks when you plan to release your catch back into the water. Some fish may pass hooks through their system when a small section of leader is still attached. I look at the states catch and release programs as an investment in the future just in case I need to support my family from my fishing skills. . THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND
