Fish Care

[ryan]

Hey guys just wanted to remind everyone to be as careful as possible with your fish this time of year. Fish care is very important so if you want some pics take your camera with you and as soon as you catch a nice one snap your photo and throw her back. Even a short ride around in the live well can kill some of these fish! If you must throw one in the box for a while make sure you fizz it before letting it go because 95% of the bass you catch this time of year have to be fizzed! Even if you catch the fish in 10 foot of water chances are it just came out of 30 foot of water and they stay up for a short time before heading back down to the thermocline so they still need to be fizzed. Just have heard of and seen some floaters that were still alive on top that people hadn't fizzed properly. Point is they need a little extra attention this time of year! Youtube as some good videos of how to properly fizz a bass! Good luck and tight lines.

Was wondering if you guys fishing at night are having to fizz fish also? I have never fizzed a fish and am kinda apprehensive to do so since I dont know what I am doing. That being said should I buy the bendz mender pen needle style fizzer tool or go with the anal fin clip weight things that also supposedly work well. Opinions fellas???
