Be organised!!!!!
Know where and how you are going to land a fish that you hook
Land the fish in a nice calm rock pool (don’t drag it over the rocks or
sand, rather pick it up with wet hands) or place it or its head into the
bucket.
Get your pliers, camera (they should be in the top of your bag) and friend
to take the photo
Unhook the fish in the water (I often use a wet cloth to handle the fish),
take it out quickly for a photo (submerge it between photos)
Carry it back in the bucket or quickly with wet hands (or preferably a wet
cloth) and release it.
This often happens when you drag the fish up
into the dry sand or if you touch it with dry
hands.
It will lead to disease and
fungus and could lead to
death
