Fishing for bream roach perch in Sligo, hooked into a pike for a second while reeling in a little roach, came off though.

What do you do with the fish?

[u/Candid_Analysis6571 → u/Critical_Water_4567]

Released them

[u/Gamalam91]

Forgive my ignorance, but why not release as you  catch? 

[u/soulpotatoes → u/Gamalam91]

Two reasons, to record the total catch and prevent catching the same fish twice.

I did, don’t worry, I’m all for fish welfare

[u/Gamalam91 → u/Candid_Analysis6571]

No sorry, I mean why keep them in the bag if they're not for eating?

[u/Candid_Analysis6571 → u/Gamalam91]

Just to see how much I caught at the end of the day, I weigh them aswell.

[u/Gamalam91 → u/Candid_Analysis6571]

Cool! Thanks for sharing, have only sea fished really. The more you know!

[u/Gamalam91 → u/Candid_Analysis6571]

Honestly not a loaded question!

It's a standard match fishing set-up, used by serious coarse fishermen. This guy knows what he's doing.
