The FWC invites you to participate in the Saltwater Ethical Angler Photo Contest. Send us a picture of you with your catch and you may be featured in an upcoming
FWC publication, maybe even the cover of the Saltwater Edition of the Fishing
Regulations!
Photo Submitted By Captain Wade Osborne
To be considered your fish must be handled properly as it is the
responsibility of every angler to strive for 100% survival of fish that are
released. An ethical angler handles their catch with
wet hands only, is careful not to poke fingers into gills, and fully supports the body weight of the fish by
cradling it horizontally. Large fish should not be boated, as removing them from the water can injure the fish.
