Handling and releasing a marlin properly is crucial to ensure the fish's survival and the sustainability of the species. Here are some tips to do it correctly: 1. Use circle hooks to reduce deep hooking, making it easier to release the fish unharmed. 2. Avoid exhausting the marlin during the fight; try to bring it in as quickly as possible to minimize stress. 3. Keep the marlin in the water at all times if possible, especially for larger fish. 4. Remove the hook using a de-hooker or pliers while handling the fish gently to prevent injuries. 5. Revive the marlin by holding it upright in the water and moving it back and forth to ensure proper oxygen flow through its gills. Once the fish shows signs of strength, release it. Remember to follow local regulations and guidelines for releasing marlin.
