WELL DONE!

IF YOU STILL HAVE THE ENERGY THEN GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE BACK, YOU DESERVE IT. BUT NOW THAT YOU HAVE YOUR WELLS IN THE NET YOU CAN TAKE AS MUCH TIME AS YOU WANT. REMEMBER YOU HAVE BOTH GIVEN IT EVERYTHING SO TAKE TIME TO HAVE A BREATHER. THE WELL BEING OF THE FISH IS NOW YOUR RESPONSIBILITY SO TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. IT IS A POOR ANGLER THAT CAUSES THE FISH ANY HARM ONCE ON THE BANK.

WAIT TILL THE CAT HAS GOT ITS ENERGY BACK BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK IF PUTTING IT ON THE MAT TO UNHOOK IT. ONCE ON THE MAT BE AS QUICK AS YOU CAN IN UNHOOKING THE FISH THEN RETURN IT IN THE NET BACK TO THE WATER FOR ANOTHER BREATHER. KEEP DOING THIS AFTER ANYTHING YOU DO WITH THE FISH SUCH AS WEIGHING AND PHOTOGRAPHING. THIS WAY YOU WILL CAUSE AS LITTLE STRESS TO THE FISH AS POSSIBLE. ABOVE ALL IT MUST RETURN TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY. THIS IS WHY I DO EVERYTHING IN THE NET. I KEEP MY NET UNDER MY FISH AT ALL TIMES, I EVEN WEIGHT THEM IN THE NET

the fight is over Retern

THERE IS NO GREATER SIGHT THAN A HUGE WELLS SLOWLY MOVING ITS TAIL AS IT SINKS SLOWLY BACK INTO THE DEPTHS. SO PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT IT DOES. NOW I THINK YOU DESERVE A NICE CUP OF TEA! OH AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHANGE YOUR TOP, ASSUMING YOU HAVE BROUGHT A SPARE ONE WITH YOU!
