?
Cradles distribute the weight evenly and I have yet to see one with uneven and jagged stones attached.
It's a precaution.
A knowledgeable person my be able to this with minimal endangerment however a new Yahoo who saw this on the internet with no education in the process would probably contribute some damage and then it carries on.
The ignorant teaching the uninformed.

They are still using cradles when tagging these fish which is no different than laying on a beach.
What evidence do they have of these fish being damaged internally by beaching them?
Im calling BS on that one.
Putting my helmet on now...........
They don't cradle 8 footers.

I reported the same person, James Hope, to the same conservation officer in February of 2011. James had been posting pictures of himself with sturgeon online, which I screen captured as proof, and sent to Mr. Jacobi. I still have the photos:

That is just wrong.  How much proof does the authority needs to stop act like that.
