I’m proud to be an ambassador for the newly-relaunched Keep Fish Wet initiative. Keep Fish Wet helps develop and spread science-based practices for the safe handling of sport fish. Think of the last five fish you caught. Odds are, more than one of those fish has been caught by other anglers and was safely released to swim (and be caught) again. Proper handling of fish helps ensure we have healthy fish populations for recreational anglers to pursue, and helps imbue a sense of responsibility over the resource.
As a fishing photographer, keeping fish in the water while capturing compelling images is always forefront in my mind. I’ve been lucky enough to work with some incredibly savvy anglers over the years who understand how to work with fish to keep them wet while “getting the shot.”
