Propper Stringer method for preserving Redfish

[revredfish]

I recieved an email from a pro about how to keep fish alive on a stringer. I wish I could figure out how to get the pictures off the email (they are imbedded and I don't know how to resave them) can't cut and paste them.

if you contact me (with your email) I can forward the email to you.

This method is using a rope type stringer with the sharp metal point on one end.

Tie a knot near the top of the stringer then:

First start at the back corner of the fish's jaw put the stringer through the top of the corner of their jaw, then bring out through the bottom jaw towards the back, put a knot in the stringer above and below each fish to keep them seperated from one another. This allows the fish to swim naturally and to breathe normally,

Always go from top down move the first fish closest to the top of the stringer.
Always put each fish on the same side of their mouth. This will take more time but will keep fish alive - important if you need to cull and live fish aren't rotten fish.

Hope this is helpful

Did you try right clicking on pic to see if a menu such as "save target as" comes up? You may know but I wanted to make sure.

Yeah I right clicked; I changed from html; I tried to cut and paste; I tried opening it as a forwarded message - I'm fairly computer literate and I just can't figure out why I cant get ahold of those pictures. Weirdest thing.

I used to use a basket for Trout - now that is actually pretty handy, and talk about fast.

They are most likely right clicked protected. It's not real common unless this guy doesn't want people claiming his fish. But it is a little software program you can use to keep people from stealing your pictures on the web and claiming as their own.
