Rule 1: Speed Does Not Kill
The faster you can get a fish to the boat or shore the better its chances of survival. The longer the fight the less chance the fish has of surviving.
Rule 2: Get Wet
If you must touch the fish make sure your hands are wet or use a wet cloth or wet gloves between you and the fish.
Rule 3: Unhook Quickly
The longer you take over hook removal, the less the chances of the fishes survival. The less care you take over removing the hook, the less chance of the fish surviving.
Rule 4: No Throwing
Throwing a fish back into the water is likely to greatly decrease the fish's chances of survival.
Rule 5: Avoid Photo Folly
If you must take a photo do it very quickly - remember every second the fish is out of water is reducing the chances of its survival.
