I couldn't agree more. He will absolutely kill that fish by handling it out of the water like that. So many anglers do it! Please photograph them in the water and don't lift them out particularly with your hand directly underneath the heart. Thank you!
Agreed. Play it until it's exhausted, as he said and then hold it out of water that long. Some one explained it to me like running a marathon then having some one hold your head underwater as soon as you cross the finish line. No respect for the salmon at all.
Just watching it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up well done you played that fish perfectly
Glad you enjoyed it - and the same for me!

Fantastic my friend I'm buzzing just watching all the very best pal tightlines.
Thanks from the camera man :-)
The way you handle this beautiful male is horrible, you probably kill that fish… next time keep his head in the water !
That fish will have been absolutely fine

The fish probably died within a day!
Beautiful
Thank you 😊

Can i ask what reel you are using please
I am the cameraman, so I do not know, but it could be a reel from Einarsson www.einarsson.com
Fantastic Icelandic fly reels.
Looks like a Megoff 8/10 LA. Hand made and fairly rare I’d imagine as they are made by a Ukrainian I believe.
Next time keep it in the water! Nice video other than that!
Lesson learned, Thanks.
