Nice fish Spoonman.  Hope those males survived following the glove treatment.

::) Really? Why don't you start your own thread in ethics instead of hijacking this one, especially as those photos are older?

 As you can tell from the last photo my  use of gloves on wid(released) fish was deleted a long time ago.The first two pics are at least ten years old so those two fish are dead now glove or no glove.Thanx for the nard kick.

Spoon man, I like the landing ledge that you're standing on in the first pic.

This thing ripped me up hard. Sea lice, hit the fly the second the fly hit the water, many big jumps right off the bat, on a 7 wt rpl to boot!

These fish are the perfect example of why I want to use 15 pound liter. A couple of those fish may only happen once in a lifetime so im caught between a rock and a hardplace  >:(

just fish with what you're comfortable with, there's no right or wrong as long as you're catching fish.  ;)
