* Bring the fish in as quickly as possible.

* Use barbless hooks, or crimp the barbs with needle nose pliers.

* Minimize handling the fish. Be sure your hands or net is wet before touching the fish. Use a net with knotless mesh.

* Keep the fish in the water. It preserves its protective slime coat.

* Use a hook disgorger to remove hooks in the throat. Do not remove a deep hook, but cut the line just above the lure.

* Use a heavy leader line, which exerts maximum pressure on the fish.

* Gently hold fish in water facing upstream to allow it to gain equilibrium and add oxygen to its blood. Release it when it struggles.
