Releasing large fish safely is crucial for conservation and the well-being of the fish. Here are some tips to ensure a successful release: 1. Use barbless hooks to minimize damage and make it easier to remove them. 2. Keep the fish in the water as much as possible to prevent stress and ensure it can breathe. 3. Support the fish horizontally, especially large ones, to avoid damaging their internal organs. 4. Revive the fish by gently moving it back and forth in the water to ensure it can swim away strongly. 5. Avoid taking the fish out of the water for photos if possible, and if you do, make it quick and handle the fish with wet hands. Remember, the goal is to release the fish unharmed so it can thrive and potentially be caught again in the future.
