albacized Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 ...and it got off the hook, but you were still able to retreive it before it could swim away, is that a catch in your proverbial book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_S Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Absolutely. You hooked it and got it to a place where you were able to retrieve it. Sounds like a catch to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

levari Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 You can always hook the fish back and take a picture before you release it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albacized Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I agree with you guys - I'm just comparing our thoughts to the way (I believe) the IFGA would consider - which I think would be a no catch unless the leader hit the tip of the rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maineskiff Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Back in the late 70's while living in Telluride CO.( In the woods as there wasn't any affordable housing) We would go down to this boggy area by a creek and "flip" cut throats out of the water with our hands. Damn fine meal. This was when the town still had dirt streets and it was just starting to build up. And yes, we said we caught dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAddict Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 It is not a caught fish cuz you were not the one who chose to release it. It got away before you had it in your possession or control. The New SOL - All Love All The Time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
