I think the people who do this, with the fish in their arms, probably deserve to catch something horrible. The Korda boys are one of the worst proponents of this practice. In my opinion it should be banned. Even if you are in the water, the fish could still be damaged.

I see no fun in that, guess I'm a grumpy old sod as well, happy to say, I've never witnessed it on any water I've fished, but, if a group of good friends enjoy it, crack on.

I'm not going to judge anyone else's choices but personally I wouldn't due to Weil's disease risk.

If it makes the person being soaked happy I dont see any real harm

but on a personal note I think its bloody silly and if anyone had done it to me I really would not mess about
they would have a bankstick slapped across their lip followed by being slung in the lake

I'm surprised fishery owners go to the lengths of posting it online too. It should be banned by them, not encouraged

Completely ghey and retarded, but hey, there are worse things in angling, and life. I think it stems from the obsession in today's culture to create rituals and special moments which everybody copies. I mean, gender reveals parties, what's that then?

:P

I know, when I heard my nephew, say he was going to his cousins, " Gender reveal party" I thought, "What the hell is this family coming to"?

Imagine it G, you can't touch me (grabs buy the scruff of the neck), you can't push me (edged closer to the lake) you can't throw me in there (splash)
