The pups that are around now are not too much to worry about. Just watch the tail boatside. Once you grab em by the tail it's easy to get the hook out or cut the line with a dehooker/pliers/knife. Once they get over 60 or so then you need to be more cautious and really wear em out, particularly if you plan to keep it. An extra set of hands makes it much easier. One guy grabs the tail, the other ropes it then slices the gills to bleed.
This one was barely done teething
