Careful nebe;
fly fishing aint all bad, I dont think we should generalize; ultra light tackle is what does the damage, especially in warm water when the mortaolity rate is already high....

I was agreeing that fly is usually light tackle; but wanted to say all ultra light, not just fly... this applies to guys releasing lots of big fish on 15lb spin gear on live eels; and doing it daily as a charter captain.....

Hard to believe that is a 60# fish. It looked very thin with no gut but there is nothing in the video to give it perspective.

flyfishing LOL look around at all the guys not using circle hooks and going for the gusto as they rip the insides / gills out of a short while setting the hook only to watch as they "relaease the floater" Ive seen this so many times its beyond a joke.
Ive flyfished for several years and never had a floater I use a 9wt or 10wt . I use circles bait fishing and never had a floater.
As for spearfishing, even If a guy runs into the surf next to me during a blitz standing and spears a legal fish with a harpoon thats ok as long as hes going to eat it .[hmmm harpoon ...]  |

Not defending, Spence, relax..
and yeah Pops there is a very high mortality on gut hooked fish... set the hook quickly etc.. etc..
My point is how many of those fish didnt float but died later?  I dont know either, but I have seen mortality rates for stripers reported as low as 3% and as high as 25%; 8% is the consensus average... I always feel better releasing a small fish caught on heavy tackle then one caught on lighter tackle; my 0.02, |

Agree... Getting a fish in quick and turned around fast on crimped barbs is better for the fish than sporting it with ultra-light gear - fly or spin...
As for Spearfishing - seems sporting to me. As for ethical or not? Well, it's legal...
Sol - I don't think this was a hijack or start of a fight but I can see how this would be a contentious issue.... THanks for the link... |
