how to catch--and release

There's only so much seafood a fisher can eat, and if you're loath to see your catch go to waste, you may want to investigate catch and release angling. (This is also a great idea if you're concerned about diminishing stocks of certain types of fish.) This page provides a reasonably brief how-to for catch-and-release, including the types of hooks to use, how to remove the hooks, and proper release methods. As the article states, "simply setting the fish go after capture is not all there is to catch and release fishing," so bone up on what else's involved here.
