Fish Eyes

A comment made on the post re  Rachels Dhui got me to thinking

I've watched many fishing shows (can't get out to do it myself atm) and i see fish after fish brought up from the 'deep' But they never cover the eyes, even though they are goiong to release the fish

Surely fish fro,m the deep are going to suffer being displayed in bright sunlight (and not even being able to breath)

Wouldn't their eyes be permanantly damaged after that bright sunlight, possibly the first ime ever?

Would think dropping them on to a red hot deck and letting them kick about would do more damage

Probably be grateful to get some heat into their bones, poor buggers be freezing their tits off.
