1. **Handle with Care**: Minimize the time the fish is out of the water. Use wet hands or a wet cloth to handle the fish to avoid removing its protective slime layer.
2. **Avoid Overplaying the Fish**: When reeling in, avoid tiring the fish out too much. Keep the fight short and sweet to prevent exhaustion.
3. **Use Proper Gear**: Use appropriate tackle for the species you're targeting to reduce the stress on the fish during the fight.
4. **Revival Techniques**:
- **Water Movement**: If the fish is lethargic, hold it upright in the water facing into the current (if applicable) to help water flow over its gills.
- **Gentle Movement**: Move the fish back and forth gently in the water to encourage water flow over its gills. This mimics the natural swimming motion and helps oxygenate the gills.
5. **Monitor the Fish**: Watch for signs of revival. The fish should start to struggle gently and then swim away on its own. If it doesn’t, continue to hold it in the water until it regains strength.
6. **Temperature Considerations**: Be aware of the water temperature. Warmer water holds less oxygen, so fish may require more time to recover in these conditions.
7. **Avoid Fishing During Spawn**: If possible, avoid fishing during spawning seasons to give fish a chance to reproduce, which helps maintain healthy populations.
By following these tips, you can help ensure that the fish you catch have a greater chance of survival after being released, contributing to sustainable fishing practices.
