the article on atlantic salmon shows a guy holding i believe a 12lb.er and on the next page advises the reader to not take the fish out of the water if we were to catch one. please point out to me what i am missing.

they're trying to get you to release the salmon without handling the fish
which disturbs the slime coat and endangers a released fish by
allowing harmful bacteria to attack the skin.

then why is the guy in the left pic holding the fish with his bare hands?

Do as I say,not as I do:faga:

hes into some sex thing where he likes to leave hand prints everywhere. :heybaby::wiggle::lasso:

Raven I do believe that Salmon was wearing a smile.:rotfl:

wear this one
 

If you re-read the article. It says that they shouldn't of handled the fish. I believe the pic was taken before the author did his research on Atlantic Salmon for the article.

i just glanced through it in the barber chair the other day. that is what i missed, thanks.
