Re: Foul hooked fish
You may as well keep it, if legal.

Re: Foul hooked fish
If legal I eat it as most fish I catch.
If desirable and legal I keep. Taking a boat out isn't cheap u know...
I caught my biggest whiting in its bottom and it went 48cm. It was yummy

Re: Foul hooked fish
Like the others have said I’d do the same if the fish is legal then I’d keep it.

Re: Foul hooked fish
If undersized, I let the nature to decide for it to live or die. I wont take home undersized fish and possibility of trying to explain that to the fisheries officer.
