To get optimal tension when putting line on your winch hold the line down against the rod in front of the winch when you are reeling it on. The more tension you want, the harder you grip.... the spool can be wherever, on yor frigde, on your couch, doesn't matter...if you have a friend or girlfriend willing to hold it thats a bonus but you don't need a second person.

Great post. I know I never stop learning when it comes to CnR; there's always a way to improve our handling practices.

I think that boat anglers could learn from the above as well as waders. While it may not always be practical to keep the fish in the water while releasing it from a boat, keeping a net handy eliminates the risk of a fish slipping out of your grip and flopping around the deck.

I know many on this forum are against the use of landing nets and I mean no disrespect towards their opinion but I personally have found that a good rubber net let's me land fish quicker and more carefully.
