Unhooking a Peacock Bass


This PB was foul-hooked - the triple hook lodged at the gills rather than the lips. The caliper-type device at the top of the picture is known as a boga. It is used to lift and weigh the fish; in addition, it comes handy with a measuring tape which serves a useful purpose in establishing its length. The long-nose curved pliers is used to unhook the fish.
