wow guys,some of you turn some of the learning on this sight into a joke. I love humor, really and some of you are very witty and some are just a bore! But some folks really care about nature and fish and the environment and a lot of newbies and old experienced folks have learned many valuable lessons here on this sight. I know, I have! But if there is a better way, I'd like to hear it. no one is forcing you to change your ways, just trying to educate you...what you do with the info is up to you. Fishing is one of my passions..I rarely take photo's of fish as this can caused added stress..my choice..I am not saying I am more rightous, not at all...but I want that big fish to live so someone else can have that joy...and the big ones to ME deserve a release. Like one of you said,have fun do what you feel is right...If your thinking about your actions you usually do the right thing. not trying to hurt any one feelings...as I know some of you are so sensitive. Fishing is so much fun...I love it! And you do too or you wouldn't write in...

I have always heard that if a fish is hooked deep the best thing to do is remove the lure and he hook will eveuntually disenegrate. Is this true? I really hate it when they get it just right I always feel in the back of my mind that the fish is not going to make it. I def. know that almost everytime that I have retrieved the hook the fish didn't make it. Just curious on your thoughts of leaving the hook there.
Thanks
