One way to release a fish if it is not exhausted is to release it like a torpedo, nose first. This allows the water to pass over the gills. When placing the fish in the water after a lengthy retrieve, hold it by the tail and softly swish the fish left to right until the fish responds. Never pull a fish back and forth as water will not pass over the gills properly and can actually do more harm. | |
