by reading this thread.. straight away i remember my first C&R which painfull at first but 100ox times sense of relieve and joy to see the fish swim away. But to practice this, you should be ready to shut your ear as others will feel differently. hehehe.... I recalled also a friend who also practice his first C&R and he can't even wiped off his smile a week later. hehehehehehe....

P. Ariel how's the Pond opening today... hope is going well and am ready to revisit again.. heheheh
