I was agreeing that fly is usually light tackle; but wanted to say all ultra light, not just fly... this applies to guys releasing lots of big fish on 15lb spin gear on live eels; and doing it daily as a charter captain.....

Hard to believe that is a 60# fish. It looked very thin with no gut but there is nothing in the video to give it perspective.

flyfishing LOL look around at all the guys not using circle hooks and going for the gusto as they rip the insides / gills out of a short while setting the hook only to watch as they "relaease the floater" Ive seen this so many times its beyond a joke.
Ive flyfished for several years and never had a floater I use a 9wt or 10wt . I use circles bait fishing and never had a floater.
As for spearfishing, even If a guy runs into the surf next to me during a blitz standing and spears a legal fish with a harpoon thats ok as long as hes going to eat it .[hmmm harpoon ...]

Not defending, Spence, relax..
and yeah Pops there is a very high mortality on gut hooked fish... set the hook quickly etc.. etc..

My point is how many of those fish didnt float but died later? I dont know either, but I have seen mortality rates for stripers reported as low as 3% and as high as 25%; 8% is the consensus average... I always feel better releasing a small fish caught on heavy tackle then one caught on lighter tackle; my 0.02,

Wasnt there a pic recently of one of our SB.com members on here holding a 12" schoolie by its gills just to get a cute picture and show off? Now to me thats more damaging to fish. I fly fish on occasion and get fish in as quick as i can and make sure to revive them before i let them go. Whats more damaging, me fly fishing and releaseing my fish safely or some googan holding a 12" schoolie by the gills to show off? Just my two cents.

haha fly fishing is not more damaging you're showing your ignorance. As soon as you pluck those 3 inch fish outta the water you did damage. I dont care if you're out there with a 1g spinning setup, or a beer can and pink mono. Once that lil fish pops its head out the water and you touch it (stressing the fish) you've done your damage. The fish you saw float by are what is called mortality, unfortunately.. It happens.

I play by my rules and stick to 'em. Notice I was'nt there for the dink fest and wont be, larger are still around..

Today's dink is tomorrow's trophy. Show some respect for the species.



Freediving and shooting fish takes a lot of dedication and patience.

Domination takes full concentration..
