First fish, first blood on new yak

Redbeard - tried today this method, it is not good enough! I do not recommend. With dogfish the most danger is not teeth, but spikes in fins and tail. Today caught a lot of them, first two fishes handled ok, but next one started trying to hit me with tail and unfortunately got exactly to vein. So today not only I spilled fishes' blood, but they also spilled mine If you wanna keep it put on desk, step on it and cut spikes with fishing scissors then handle like usual fish. I caught a lot of them today, kept only two big ones and that one who spilled my blood, released probably 10. There are couple of photos.

Thanks for the info and pictures! Looks dangerous. Now I want to try it more

Are there dogfish in Oregon? It would be a new species for me, and new species are always a fun challenge!
