Sure makes you wonder. Hey, I've got my wife an xmas present from Flymasters that's gloves the are made of a wool fabric that supposedly do not suck any water at all. If she likes them I'll let you know. I'm told that I can use them rowing the drift pram and pull the anchor and the hands/finger never get wet. I agree that the issue of how to deal with fish is tough one. Sometimes makes me wonder if pictures are worth it.
