How not to Catch & Release....
 

"Uncle Steve" demonstrates quite possibly one of the worst examples of catch & release I've ever seen. That poor pickerel is terrorized for over THREE minutes. Could be longer as the video starts with the pickerel already out of the water. Just awful handling of that fish. "Uncle Steve" should have his fishing privileges revoked.

Good thing he caught the video the first time, or he would have had to go through everything again.

Wow!!! He needs to be held under water for as long as that Chain was tortured out of it.

He probably bought them.......and his views.

Re: How not to Catch & Release....
 

Posting this gave him even more followers, why do it?

Ahh, a dumba$$ leading other dumba$$e$. Got to love the spreading of bad technique and misinformation. Uncle Steve sucks!

Notice how he successfully removes the slim coat from that fish along with the grass & leaves which would have floated off the fish.

What an old douche bag...what do expect from someone who wears a fanny pack.

Hey Uncle Steve, JIM HARBAUGH called & he wants his WALMART kaki pants back.

Anyone who speaks of himself in the third party deserves to be donkey punched & thrown in the water.

Anyone else hoping UNCLE STEVE falls off that rock & can't get up?
Do life alerts work in the drink?
