This is true. 4 fish were weighed. I was as gentle as possible and didn't grab any gills, plus the fish weren't thrashing around while weighing them, but yes, they were weighed by their faces before their release.
I should fashion a nice mesh/dowel device similar to the ones used by pike and muskie anglers, but until then I'm stuck with what I have.
I care about the fish, so when I intend to release them, they are handled quickly and observed while they recover, to check for signs of extra bleeding. If all checks out, they're free to go. If not, female tiger trout are delicious and I'm a good cook.[
