Feeling GOOD! #catchnrelease

What happens here

Once the fish shows clear signs of revival, such as strong tail movements and an attempt to swim away, the angler gently loosens their hands. The fish then actively swims out of the angler's grasp and back into the river's depths. The angler subsequently lifts the now-empty landing net out of the water, concluding the successful catch and release.

Goal: Allow the fish to swim freely back into the river.
