I'm confused. What did he do to handle it wrong. Actually between the pictures and weiging it, he had it back in the water to catch it's breath, that's edited out of the video because from the time I neeted it until then the camera was all over the place. That's actually John's 5th brown over 10lbs here in California. He's let all of them go except for 2 which he kept for the wall. The boga grips are a great way to handle it as apposed to sticking your hand through the gills which I see most people doing now adays. If someone has some better ideas and ways to handle it let me know. Most people wouldn't have even released that fish, and John did it without a second thought, so like the previous person said, perhaps constructive criticism or suggestions rather than insult would probably be the better route. To the sarcastic one, have you caught enough trophy trout to know what it is like trying to net them and get them out of the net? Just food for thought. Thanks to ALL who replied, I hope you enjoyed either way. - Cameron
