That fish isn’t dead. It’s eye is still trying to get vertical. Might be fine.
I was out recently fishing off south Bowen (no report, my bad) with my fishing newbie Russian student who was getting pissed off at me cuz I kept chucking the fish back in before he could get pics! I’m not so good at the gaff release so it was the least I could do!

That fish looks angry. I hope to catch a few like it (but bigger!) in August!

yup! If your gonna kill Hatcheries don’t post it on Instagram!
Gross mishandling of a fish. Even if it "swam away" it probably didn't get far. Why put a fish though that if your not going to kill it. These are not trophy fish that you may want to take a photo of, so just kick em off at the boat and wave goodbye. There are ways to land fish for a photo with minimal impact and this a photo of what not to do. When we release really big fish up north there is a process how to do it correctly which is a bit of work.....worth it for a hog once every few days but not multiple fish an hour....

That ratty old jughead is one of my go to rigs I will run that right into august. It was rigged inline last friday when the action was on fire. That side crushed the spoon side but it did ok too.
Seeing as how it appears this was missed on the previous page I will bold it here.
Agreed that pics of bleeding fish on the deck doesn't look good and, if they are truly poaching, posting it on social media likely isn't the smartest thing to do, but can we please keep this thread from going two pages deep on that subject?

Who ever boated this fish, if from a closed area or catch and release only has done No One Any Favours and most certainly NOT the fish.
Give your head a shake and learn proper release methods.
BRUTAL !

exactly... these are not Trophy fish... gaff release or pick them up at the side and get a quick picture. NO nets on these.

Looks good to me, just a steady NW 10 to 20 so rip over early and enjoy the following sea home! Friday is my only shot at it so we'll see how it goes...

What's the point of an app that just repeats the info available on a website??? But without the ability to see the past 24hrs to make an assessment of the trend. Weird.
Here's the link for the Halibut Bank buoy
