Dry landing a trout (letting it hit the dry cement or dirt) and/or handling it with dry hands are both VERY bad for the fish. You would have been better to get to the water first and then land it, remove hook in the net. If you are going to let it sit on the cement, you might as well keep it. If you want to catch and release, keep it in a wet environment as much as possible and only remove it from water to remove a hook or for a VERY fast pic. Trout have a layer of "slime" that protect them from bacteria and contact with dry things removes that.
@@MrTxalus That was more for people watching this video than anything... don't hurt yourself thinking about why I wrote it. Too many people don't know how to properly release trout.
Great job Lukas!

Those are stockers. Don’t hurt yourself thinking. They’ll die one way or another
