I've got a challenge for you..... STOP weighing fish by hooking the scales in the gills. A simple carrier bag from any of the supermarket will cost you 5p won't break the bank will it! Weighs about an ounce, folds up to next to now't fits in the smallest of pockets.
So do you think you can rise to this challenge of fish welfare or what?
if that roach had been caught on any of our club waters using a set up like that and weighing it like that, your challenge would have been to stop yourself from being thrown in. The anti angling brigade would have a field day with that video, also you could face prosecution under the protection of wildlife act.
regarding weighing of fish by using the gills.
how would you like it if someone put a meathook through your lips or cheek and
hauled you up to weigh you. ?
Yes careless anglers who put videos on fishing sites without practicing the simples of fish welfare procedures.Wow, someone must have rattled your cage today. Valid point and I will endeavour to bring a carrier bag with me in future. I hope you have a nice day and enjoy your weekend. Thankyou for commenting.
Excuse me,but sticking a weighing scale hook in a fish's gill is a bit different to hooking one in the mouth with a fish hook,or don't you know they breath with their gills...incredible!
I have a challenge for you go fishing on fish welfare grounds, stop going fishing.Then we wont have anymore of these posts about fish welfare and how fish like having hooks stuck into them.
