What to Do When You Get a Catch

You have two options:

  1. Keep the fish.
  2. Throw it back into the water.

Check your local fishing laws about permits and rules determining if you can keep a fish (usually based on the fish's size and what kind you caught).

If you are keeping your fish, have a bucket or carrier filled with ice to place the fish in. This will keep them cold until you are able to cut them up for dinner.

If you plan to return the fish to the water, keep it in the water and gently remove the hook. You may have to revive the fish by moving it back and forth a bit. It will eventually swim off.
