Makes sense, Mark. Although shooting the fish is a viable option, too. I'd
have to be sure it was over the 15" length limit, though. I don't know if
I'd be able to release a fish taken with #6 shot.

If you listen to Buggs (Bunny), you'll next be taking advice from Elmer
Fudd
who would just shoot the wascally fish.
In those situations I've found that there's often good response to a foam
beetle. That's based on the theory that the light-blocking opaqueness of
the
indicator was part of the trigger, as opposed to its orange color.
