Shark Fishing - Catch and Release?
Using Circular Hooks is becoming popular as a way to improve the odds of
fish surviving when released. With the spread of Shark Fishing Tournaments (as seen on a new reality TV show) how do people improve the odds of a Shark surviving a catch and release. I know some people just cut the leader, but that seems like it impacts on the fish's ability to hunt and opens the fish to infection by having a wound that will not heal. Does the hook and leader rust or is the fish destined to carry around a hook and leader for ever? Is it just me or do some aspects of fishing seem pretty brutal and barbaric? -- ************************************************** ************************ If you would like to make rec.boats an enjoyable place to discuss boating, please do not respond to the political and inflammatory off- topic posts and flames. ************************************************** ************************** |
