I have a question for you guys who fish off the shore in newport and similar VERY ROCKY areas. I fished various spots in newport this summer and the surf was pretty big, on some occasions we werent able to get very close to the water at all because of incoming waves. My question is, how do you saftely release big fish in these conditions? I imagine it would be very hard to saftely get a BIG fish back in the water when big surf is keeping you a good distance from the edge. And i dont think trying to "toss" the fish out into the water would be very comfortable for the fish. What do you do with BIG fish in these conditions?
