Thanks from the camera man :-)

That fish will have been absolutely fine

I couldn't agree more. He will absolutely kill that fish by handling it out of the water like that. So many anglers do it! Please photograph them in the water and don't lift them out particularly with your hand directly underneath the heart. Thank you!

Agreed. Play it until it's exhausted, as he said and then hold it out of water that long. Some one explained it to me like running a marathon then having some one hold your head underwater as soon as you cross the finish line. No respect for the salmon at all.

The fish probably died within a day!

Thank you 😊 Tight lines from the camera man

I am the cameraman, so I do not know, but it could be a reel from Einarsson www.einarsson.com Fantastic Icelandic fly reels.

Looks like a Megoff 8/10 LA. Hand made and fairly rare I’d imagine as they are made by a Ukrainian I believe.

Lesson learned, Thanks. Tight lines from the camera man 😊
