Video shows how to handle large fish during catch and release
Now is a great time to prepare for when you catch that big, trophy fish of your dreams. To help, we’ve got a video out on how to properly handle large fish during catch and release.
Being properly equipped and understanding how to handle a large fish is critical to ensuring the fish’s survival after release. The video covers the proper equipment for large fish, minimizing the time the fish is out of the water, protecting the fish’s slime coating, holding the large fish horizontally and supporting the fish’s body, and how to release the fish.
Minnesota has a wide variety of opportunities to catch the true heavy hitters — flathead catfish season opened April 1, and seasons are around the corner for other large fish like lake sturgeon, muskellunge, northern pike, steelhead and others.
