I watched all of your videos before I wrote this comment. You seem to have everything you need when you go fishing. If I could just make a suggestion when you catch a fish. I always wet my hands first. When you are handling a fish, wet your hand first or use a wet fish glove. It is much easier to handle a fish when your hand or glove is wet. It is easier on the fish as well, as to not take off the slime which protects the skin. It is easier to get the fish out of the hole and remove the hook as well. Some species of fish calm right down when you put them on their back removing the hook. A slow gentle approach on hook removal, instead of ripping it out of the mouth. You can damage the fish using your boot or other objects, or pulling the fish by the fins. I apologize if my comments seem negative, it's just a suggestion that is meant to assist you. Good luck and stay safe.
