The side streams off the Firehole in Yellowstone are full of little fighters.

I take it from the blood line on his jaw that you have yet to receive the blessing of fishing barbless.
That is so beautiful it cannot be real

There is a blood mark on the jaw, yet no apparent bleeding from that fish.
I responded in the first place in anger, being the brat that I am.
Dave, rather than respond to your mail, this far better aired here,
as my direct and public apology to you.
I could and indeed should have given you some benefit of doubt rather than the benefit of cold sarcasm, in the light of which I calculate that my response in the thread is out of place.
I stand corrected and wish you all the best for your fishing and conservation for the future

:clap: Good form on all counts. Roy, your post was not out of line, but Dave took offense. That's ok. Instead of lashing publicly, Dave handled it privately and you apologized publicly.
That is how we do it here at smallstreams.
Seriously. Good form on all counts.
(You boys ok?)
Cool by me, if Dave's ok
That damage is caused by barbed hooks, some folks catch a wee thing like that and shake it off the hook, that is the usual way, I guess.
The other is using a big hook with a big barb and ripping out that hook then slinging the fish back in without care.
Barbless, no way that can happen.
Keep up the good fishing Dave,
cheers,
Roy
Edit - As you were, folks
