No I wasn't there but I didn't make the assumption that the fish were mishandled based on no evidence either,
There's a lot of folks that don't understand how delicate trout are and how much damage is done when sticking your finger through the gill plate to hold them prior to releasing them. I was very proud of the careful way LOAH handled the fish in all the pictures in his post and wanted to give him some recognition for a job well done. Hopefully other folks will see that and might get good ideas.
