Here are some tips for releasing a fish after catching it:
Handle with care
Avoid fighting the fish to exhaustion, and handle it as little as possible. Use wet hands or moist gloves. Avoid touching the fish's eyes and gills.

Dehook quickly
Dehook the fish in the water whenever possible. If you can't remove a swallowed hook easily, cut the line as close to the hook as possible.

Release head first
Gently release the fish head first into the water to help push water through its mouth and over its gills.

Resuscitate
If the fish is sluggish, face it into the current and support its weight along its body. You can also place one hand underneath the belly and the other hand holding the bottom lip or tail.

Choose the right hook
Use barbless hooks or crimp down the barbs with pliers. Circle hooks are also a good choice.

Fish early or late
Fish early in the morning or in the evening when the water temperature is lower and the fish has a better chance of recovering.

Avoid long eat times
If you're using J-hooks, don't allow long eat times. The appropriate timing depends on the species, situation, and even the day.
