That is a great story/read/pic Lew!!! :thumbsup_anim:

 

If you released the fish, you didn't do anything wrong in my book. Even technically, I say you brought the fish to the boat on your rod and reel and you stayed in the boat when you grabbed it. I don't think a fish has to pass over the gunwale on a hook to be legal.

 

Thanks again for the great read and pic!!!

I am pretty sure that he saw that on FLW tour show on WFN last week or so. I think that the tourney rule is that you cannot get off your boat during the tounament. And that is why when he broke his line and saw it floating that he jumped in but kept one hand on his boat, to meet the rule.

I don't think you broke any rule out there, but could be wrong. Seeing as it went back unharmed I see no issue.

 

I had a similar experience fighting a HUGE ski out of a canoe. had to shore land'er and as soon as I got it close the hook popped out. Hell, I jumped in the water with my shoes on and was cold, but not miserable, the whole day.

 

Good story and pics Lew, now to print T-shirts that say "don't screw with Lew"
