Please don't beat me up about the fish being on the deck, the fish was handled gently and revived at the side of the boat until it swam away under its own power.
No problem here. I am as gentle with them as I can be. However, trying to get a big fish unhooked when he is ticked may require him to come in the boat. Sometimes it is a battle to get them unhooked without me becoming hooked.
