Consider taking measurements, several photos, and releasing the fish gently.
Graphite reproductions are easier to care for than skin mounts, they look just as good, and you will win the praise of friends.
They will appreciate the fact you let the fish go for someone else to catch and to keep its superior genes in the gene pool.
That way you and others can catch the same fish again later, only it will be bigger for years to come.
Many thanks to our guests for displaying respect and consideration for all the fisheries associated with Sturgeon River Outfitters.
This is the very best of great sportsmanship and your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated by Jean and I.
Your generous contribution will enhance the fisheries and ensure sustainability for future generations to enjoy.
