Gentle Fish Handling and Unhooking

What happens here

With the fish secured in the net (often partially submerged), the angler carefully lifts the fish or holds it gently to remove the hook. The video shows the angler briefly holding a Brown Trout for display, ensuring wet hands when touching the fish. This step requires minimal contact and quick action to ensure the fish's well-being before release, adhering to catch-and-release principles.

Goal: Remove the hook quickly and safely while minimizing harm to the fish.
