Fish for long enough, and someone will tell you that it’s cruel or inhumane – but you and I both know that there’s no one who cares more about the health and well-being of trout than a trout angler.
After you've landed your fish, you need to get the hook out. Most of the time it's a simply matter. Just grasp the hook or lure, push back against the direction the hook penetrated and you're done.
