Landing
Looking for feedback. What method do you normally use to land a fish? I'm sure the answers will depend on the fishing situation. If you do not have a boga grip, do you try to lip a fish? I know that many of us here are catch and release. Lipping a fish seems to be the safest way for the fish to be landed and released to swim another day. I have heard that grabbing a fish by the gill is hazardous to its health. Does anyone here lip gaff their fish? How many people here own / swear by a boga grip? Any shore guys use a net? I have seen a lot of decent fish lost this year just as they were being landed. Again... I'm sure the responses will vary... just wondering what are your preferred methods. Thanks!
