AOTY and my daughter...

I posted about mine and my daughters AOTY catch... well those fish... were still alive when we got home... she has never been squeamish about seeing fish die, but she wanted to know if they might live... after I took my time measuring them and pulling them off the stringer... she put them in a bucket of water... she kept moving them back and forth in the water and after a few hours they seem to be fully healthy... this means I am committed to returning them to the lake tomorrow... assuming they survive the night outside. 

Well it's probably better to let them go... I don't think you can count them for aoty with all the help it sounds like you had

That is a pretty sweet story.
