Carl nice video...
I personally have never fizzed a fish or have I seen anyone else fizz one. However, I noticed on their key fizzing facts; that it states that fish released immediately did not need fizzing. (I thought this was not true). I had also thought, that fish pulled from the deep was the only fish that would possibly need fizzing because of the bends. I was corrected a few years back that fish caught in shallow water could also need fizzing.
Is my assumption wrong about fizzing ?
Also, with your experience in fizzing and fish care. Does a fish released immediately need fizzing ?
Bennie, there will be times when a fish you are going to immediately release will need to be fizzed . I will give you an example from here at amistad . I catch one on a jigging spoon in water over 50 ft. . In this instance, the fish will just lay on top of the water and will not be able to go down . You will have to fizz that fish immediately or the air bladder will expand even more . You also have to remember these fish in the study were in enclosed nets . Predation other than a very smart raccoon was minimal. You are correct on shallow fish . Water temp. plays a big factor on shallow fish . Is one of the reasons I teach cool livewell temps. . Most fish you catch and release right away from say 30-40 ft. Or shallower will go back down without you having to do it . But when they lay on the surface, with their eyes bugged out , intervention is necessary .

bends. what do you mean by bends? divers experience this when coming to the surface to quick. So, fish could and can experience this also because if they are in deep water and they are brought up quickly. To prevent this the divers come up at different depths and equalize. I would assume we could equalize the fish also. But, it would take a long time to get them in the boat. Something we do not think about when we hook a fish. Our mind thinks get it to the boat fast so we do not lose them. Carl and J.R --- thanks for your explanations. |
