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? |
This is true but before you get that chance you need to have a scout a safe spot to land the fish which is norm a safe spot to set her back.
