5/9/2021 3:16:20 PMNice catch! Fun on a lighter rod.... Enjoy your info at beginning of your videos. I noticed your above picture and remembered a key point about stringers - read a while ago researching stress in salmonids. . RB actually. They get hook-net-unhook stress- adrenaline pumped throughout their bloodline, permeating the meat if you don't conk-gut-bleed them ASAP or put them in an underwater cage--- aerated cold water live well (15 minutes and stress is gone)-- or (last choice) a stringer.https://locavore.guide/fishing/keeping-your-catch-fresh-stringers-baskets-live-wells-etc Fish "breath" by alternately open-close mouth and gills- creating a flow of water they remove o2 from. With a wire or rope through the mouth- unable to completely close so they lose that needed pressure flow= stress due to being short on oxygen.. Along with the hole you make in their lower jaw for the stringer to exit--- messed up a good thing. Through the gills would slowly asphyxiate them--- under continuous stress to taint the meat- https://www.saltwire.com/cape-breton/opinion/fish-have-a-sophisticated-breathing-system-to-survive-in-water-20326/
