I am Sorry but that is odd, take a pic of te fish if you want, them let him swim. No need for a stringer unless you are eating them.

Each their own I guess.

It's illegal to hold fish on a stringer then release.

 

 

Can you back that up bud?

[misfish]

I just went looking...turns out it's only a recommendation.

 

AHHHH Thanks for clearing that.LMAO.

[davey buoy]

Thanks guys,I'm sorry,thanks for clearing that up. believe me no harm was done. Never again.

 

 

 

On a side note I can't believe you guys would even question that!!!But you never know!!

I didn't comment at first, and I really don't care, but it does stress the fish out big time to be dragging them around on a stringer, and IMO there's a good chance they didn't make it, even though they may have swam away healthy.

 

Keep 'em next time

I caught a walleye at my cottage on the dock, put it on my stringer, fished the rest of the morning with no luck, then threw it back because I didn't feel like cleaning and cooking just one. I caught the same one less than a week later. how do I know? it had a 'soar' gill flap. Fish was handled nicely on the stringer, and obviously would have lived if he didn't get filleted the second time I caught him

[misfish]

and IMO there's a good chance they didn't make it,

 

 

And IMO,they may have. It,s nothing new to keep fish on a stringer for the day and release them. I have seen many swim away happy and healty. If your just floating around,theirs no harm,as long as they are strung right.IMO.a basket type keeper would be better.
