In July, TRCP traveled the floor at @ASAFishing's @ICASTshow 2025 - the world’s largest sportfishing trade show - to ask attendees to share their thoughts on fishing and conservation. This week, we're sharing responses to the question: "Who taught you how to fish, and what did that teach you?" @Capt4CleanWater / @ReturnEmRight / @cca_florida

(2/2) 🤝🏾🎣 We’ve partnered with @ReturnEmRight and @FisheryCouncil to promote the FREE training course on the descending device. 📚 If you happen to fish in the Gulf of Mexico, you can apply for a free descending device. 🎣 Visit returnemright.org for more!

When targeting red snapper, you're likely to hook other snapper & grouper species too. One of our favorite 'bycatch' is the vermilion snapper – a delicious catch with mild, flaky white meat. Try downsizing your bait to land a few tasty keepers! #returnemright #earnanotherfight

We distribute the standard SeaQualizer, preset to release at 50, 100, and 150 ft., but did you know there's a deep-water version? It’s perfect for deep-dropping, with release settings at 100, 200, and 300 ft. #returnemright #earnanotherfight #descendingdevice

🎣 The Big Fish Initiative is supporting #SalvaPeje, a regional campaign that promotes a descending device that helps save fish that is accidentally caught. 🐟🪝 👉🏽🔗 Visit the Big Fish Hub (bigfishinitiative.com/fisher…) to learn more. @ReturnEmRight @FisheryCouncil

@twistedpalmssaltyadventures hosted a fun group on board, where young Cooper eagerly learned how to safely release snapper using the @seaqualizer descending device! Big thanks for teaching the kids proper release practices. 👏 #returnemright #earnanotherfight

Every week we have Gulf of Mexico anglers complete our online training of best practices. Once the training is completed they receive $100 worth of release gear for FREE! See if you're eligible by visiting, returnemright.org/about-us/g…. #ReturnEmRight #EarnAnotherFight

Happy World Environment Day! 🌏 Thank you for your dedication to sustainable release practices and for safeguarding the future of our fisheries. #returnemright #earnanotherfight #barotrauma #descendingdevice #offshorefising

That summer heat is here but the snapper are still chewing! We grabbed some cut bait & the mangrove snapper couldn't resist. 🎣 #returnemright #earnanotherfight #snapper #offshorefising #mangrovesnapper Florida Sea Grant

Target species acquired! Snapper 📷's are on the menu tonight! @ryan_morie #returnemright #earnanotherfight #redsnapper #offshorefishing

Angler’s play a key role in conservation, and for every fish you reel in, be sure to use best handling practices. Use a knotless rubber coated net to bring in the fish, wet your hands, and use a dehooking tool. Keep your fingers out of the gills and eyes, and hold the fish horizontally, supporting the belly. Anglers targeting reef fish, like snappers and groupers, can help improve the survival of released reef fish by properly using a descending device or venting tool that is rigged and ready for use on fish displaying signs of barotrauma. This is just one way our anglers can continue to help conserve Florida’s fisheries for current and future generations. Image courtesy of @ReturnEmRight
