big fish are easy . Expect the fish to make a break for it when she lays eyes on you . After that expected out burst bring her back to your side. Why your side ? Because if the surf bangs the fish of the front of your legs, the spikes on the dorsal fin will punch holes in your waders ..Those holes just above the knees or higher ,,,that is what thats from .. Took me like ten years to figure that out . After the fish has freaked and you brought her back to your side,(to my left cause I'm a righty and I want my strong hand in her yap)(and Don't turn your back on the surf) Slide your left hand down the line to grab the plug or 1/0 min. barrel swivel if your bait fishing . Quickly look in the mouth and inspect for hooks left from others when you see the mouth is clean put your rod under left armpit or just clamp between legs and make the grab with the other hand (my right)..The thumb in mouth controversial lip grab . You have to make this strong and the fish may head shake so be prepared at this point you have to keep your pimp hand strong.. Letting go is not an option .. If you do drop the fish and hooks get you,, you have to drag it up on land and lay on it until its dead .Unhooking a fish depends how they are hooked .. Multible treble hooked can be messy and out of the water surgery may be rerquired with lengthy fish cpr revival and release ,, sux.. Alot of single hook, hook ups in a button holed lip is the best case senerial and you really don't even have to remove the fish from the water .. Treat treble hooks like each hook is a single unhooking one at a time .. . little guys are a handfull.. No handle on them things little mouths.after tiring. wet hand ,, back of the head .. watch out for dorsal spikes..
