If I had a place to stay for free in an area with great fish they could tell people whatever they want. I don't fish for pictures.

 

I really don't care either.

 

Easy. I've never caught a fish worth stealing xD

He is a friend, but as such I accept him 'as is'  I just wasn't aware of this side of him.  I've had fishing partners pull some crazy dodo, but this really through me for a loop.  I really don't know how to react and I'm what you'd call non-confrontational.  I could care less about the quick release and lost photo op. I'll likely just rib him about it in front of his other friends, but not at his next get together up there.

I would have clogged his toilet and called a bunch of 1-900 numbers on his phone.

Upper decker just before leaving would be even better.  A plugged toilet on a fishing trip would be pretty inconvenient.

Meh, personally I wouldn't put to much thought into it. Seems strange, but harmless. The longer I live the more I realize that people just get weird!

_{I don't understand why you would let him reel it in?  Laughing, because of witnessed a very similar situation.  But my thoughts are he caught the fish.  He landed it.  His fishing hole.  And I don't care about the fame.  My 2 personal bests, I don't even have pictures of but it was fun catching them.}

He means that his friend netted the fish.  So, you catch a fish, I lip it or net it, take pics of myself, and toss it back before you can get a pic.

 

Personally, I wouldn't have let anyone else net/lip/land the fish in the first place.
