[QUOTE="Allen, post: 178125, member: 389"] Arguably, that is better for the fish than any handling. Hooks rust away in about a week (depending on hook type, etc) and the fish swims away. Larger fish in particular are going to die if they are held in such a way as to stretch them out. Their internal organs are designed such that they need to have the gentle support of the water. Plus, handling them removes their original factory coating (slime) that is designed to keep them from getting infections. Yep, pretty much anyone who catches 20 fish and keeps their 5 is guilty of killing more than their daily possession limit. Of course, I don't actually have a beef with current laws and am just playing devil's advocate here. [/QUOTE]
