We have this dicussion alot here also. I believe the fish have a greater chance to survive if you are careful handeling them. Especially trout, if you try not to pick them up and if you do you need to wet your hands first so you leave as much slime on them as possible.You probably know this already just a reminder.Carefully put them back in the water and make sure they are getting enough oxygen, I usually work them for a few minutes before letting them go.
