plumb2fish said:Slabby,
The first pic you posted of that fish with the gills ripped out and the blood on the belly is what my comments were directed at. If you had posted the current picture first, I would have had no idea that you ripped the gills out and kept the fish.
My approach is pretty harsh, but I speak from experience. As stated, I am no saint and have learned the hard way. Once again I urge you to learn about your target species as well as the incidentals of each fishery. You will become a better fisherman if you do and will hopefully be able to pass your knowledge on to others...maybe with more tact than I have. Learn from your mistakes and strive to not make the same ones is all anyone can do. Good Luck out there and hope to see many more possitive trips in your future.

Best to you on the upcoming Mac season,
