Lacking 4-6 bong hits.... that's the best solution I can agree to. 👍

My wife reached for the remote earlier, lost her balance, slid off the couch and landed on my dog. I probably should go FIZZ her right quickly ! Gnight y'all 👍

Well I wish I could agree....just for the sake of being agreeable. But me agreeing wouldn't mean that I ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT TO BE TRUE. This is more complicated than it should be.....and I'm not even high or anything. Maybe I should get genuinely stoned, like a real biologist, and then it might all make sense. (Word dude, expanding trapped gases....Fer'Sure!) Now, I could see where expansion of the bladder might make it difficult for the fish to immediately return to 50ft. But I cannot see where it would make the fish not even be able to keep itself upright in shallower water.

You think that's bad? Some clown named @DADAKOTA is trying to get me to send him an old bow light from my scrap pile. Oh I'm gonna do it. 👍 Why do YOU GUYS gotta be so uncooperative? Just do what you're asked and stop being jerks ! 😅

Ya think he learned anything? 🙄 A deer can jump the string of a bow/arrow that shoots 370 fps.....yet can't avoid being hit by a full size Chevy traveling 30mph (40fps) Makes no sense at all.

They can be compressed, so certainly they can expand.....But have you ever seen a fish blowed up like a dead roadkill possum in July, and still be considered ALIVE ? Neither has anything to do with atmospheric pressure. Temperature=yes. And as a result of decomposition= yes. But we are talking about fish that are still alive.

@Toby Estes I didn't mean to sound rude or dismissive, sorry. But when considering buoyancy it's all about displacement. My 5 gallon portable air tank is no more buoyant at 100psi than it is at 0psi.

Apples & oranges. Take the helium filled balloon and make it get bigger or smaller by submerging it. Ain't gonna happen. Displacement is not going to change.

No sir. No way.

This is flawed......"Bringing bass to the surface from deeper water results in a rapid expansion of the bladder because of reduced water pressure – a condition called “barotrauma.” Rapid expansion of the bladder would only ingest WATER if anything. Until the fish is removed from the water. Otherwise where are the air/gases coming from ?

The only explanation that I can fathom.....since nobody is helping me out here.....is that once the fish is removed from the surface of the water (and ONLY then) the decompressing/expanding body, including stomach, bowls, ect., might ingest air (the same air that WE breathe). Gases, from digestion of food, is the fishes only way of producing anything buoyant. Aside from surface-air gulping gar of course. So theoretically, if the fish was scooped up in, and kept submerged in, a bag of water while being unhooked and transferred to the livewell....then there would be no "fizzing" necessary. Merely being pulled from deep water to shallow water can not cause an immediate buildup of oxygen or gases. If it could then all of our energy concerns for the future would be solved for good. So ok? Who's smarter than me NOW? 😜 Bunch of dumbasses ! 🤣

It would be the total opposite then..... would it not ?

"due to rapid depth change".... Yep, I've heard that for YEARS..... ...and the depth change we are referring to is from deep to shallow, correct? Well....How in the Sam Hell does bringing a sack of gaseous vapor from deep water to shallow water cause the volume of gaseous vapor to increase? The world that I live in does not work like that, I don't think. Not sure about the one y'all are standing on today. Please keep in mind that in most instances we are talking about an elevation change of only 40-50 feet.....Not like taking it to the moon or beyond! 😅.

Exactly 👍 That was going to be my rebuttal IN CAPS if anyone said they wished it could be removed.

Why "unfortunately" ? You wish the dam was removed?

Is your air bladder still keeping you upright? 👍 Don't make me have to fizz you !!! 😠

Wasn't heavy enough. How's that for 7th grade reasoning? 😅

Not disputing that. Clipping a 3/8oz. weight to its anal fin will do that too.

Oh and while you're at it, can you also try to explain how poking a hole in a fishes air bladder aligns with....."Releasing UNHARMED" ?

Just in case y'all forgot the initial question.

So you don't know either, do ya? 😅 And it ain't biology, it's chemistry. So can you brief me on it or not ? I knew I'd have to wade through the smartassery to get to the answer. 🙄 At least YOU aren't claiming it's "math".

Debate ? Why do you assume that I'm going to debate with you if you educate me ? I give y'all solid info all the freakin' time, on things that YOU are ignorant about, if I know the answer. It was an actual question, dude. I admit to occasionally failing math, due to laziness and not GAF, but I aced Science in every grade of school. 🤷‍♂️ Isn't that somewhat evident?

Fake news. That will not happen in our lifetime.

Is there a machine that can extract air from water, and pressurize it.....Or is this something that only fish can do?

Can someone explain that concept to me? I never understood it. How does pulling a fish into a lower pressure environment INCREASE air bladder volume ? Are you gonna tell me that a partially filled balloon can be fully filled by shoving it up & down through the water column? That always sounded like some seriously flawed science to me.
