Proper handling and release of fish in sport fishing is crucial to ensure the survival of the fish population and the sustainability of the sport. Here are some tips to handle and release fish properly: 1. Use barbless hooks to minimize damage to the fish. 2. Keep the fish in the water as much as possible to avoid stress and injury. 3. Use wet hands or a wet cloth to handle the fish to protect their slime layer. 4. Support the fish horizontally, especially larger ones, to avoid internal injuries. 5. Remove the hook gently and quickly, using a dehooking tool if necessary. 6. Revive the fish by moving it gently back and forth in the water until it swims away on its own. Remember, the goal is to release the fish unharmed so it can thrive and be caught another day.
