Wrong
Not saying it’s dead for sure, but the longer it’s out, the greater chance it’s soon dead.
Especially trout, they keep moving.
Went on a trip for strippers this summer. There’s a slot limit for keepers. If it’s more than 38” back it goes. This is a 48” fish I landed. We caught fish non stop. Not a single keeper. The smallest fish was around 40”. Our captain said he had never had a day like we had before. Nothing but trophy fish all day. We stopped counting after 15. By the end of the day when a fish was hooked and the reel started screaming no one wanted to take up the rod as we were so exhausted. I doubt I will ever see another day like that again.
Did you mean stripers? Because it doesn’t look like there is much room for exotic dancing on that boat
That was after the fishing.
