Treat it like a shark and thump it over the head with a club. If you have a two piece paddle, you could probably pull it apart and whack it with the stubby end of the paddle shaft. Not the most graceful of techniques, then again, I don't have a graceful bone in my body... If I was going to catch and release something like that, I'd probably bring it in close, take a picture, and then cut the line. The hook will take care of itself in adequate time. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Feb 23 1998 - 10:08:17 PST
