Good Call, that may be the only way.
It aggravates me quite a bit also.
Late last season when the bass were chasing peanut bunker in boston harbor. I was fishing with my son and releasing lots of schoolies. A guy not far from me was "GAFFING" YES GAFFING the fish.
I could not believe it. I couldn't tell if he was also releasing them, that would be the topper!!!!
