Nice bit of video and I especially liked you consistency of keeping the fish IN THE WATER. If there's one thing that fishermen need to get the message on.. it would be:
"IF you are going to release the fish, LEAVE'EM IN THE WATER! Do NOT handle the fish or raise them up and out of the water.
Handling the fish will damage the fish – no matter how careful you are. The fish may survive your, or a couple of other such 'handlings'… but if it encounters a 'rougher handling' or multiples of catch'n'release 'HOLDINGS', then that fish is likely not going to survive the exposure.
Extreme remote areas may not seem to be as vulnerable ..but what they lack in contact risk, the make up for in delicacy of remoteness risk.
So NEVER assume any fish can 'take the handling'… because the risk is not worth it. And besides, there is NO need to handle the fish. Great photos can be taken in the net or by gently lifting the fish to eye-level in the water from UNDER the net. That way the fish remain in contact with gills-in-water and NOT in contact with your skin.
Good practices of Catch'n'Release will insure more live releases and living fish continuing to offer other fishermen/women the experience of the 'catch'.
