Default Re: Releasing fish with Baratrauma

The weight weighs a couple of pounds, I welded a ring to the top for easy attachment.
The pin and swivels came from Return'em Right, they also supply a pressure activated release clip.
SeaQualizer is another company that makes a pressure activated release clip.

I keep it rigged on a short junk rod next to my helm chair (express model) so I can grab it any time I think we need it. Anything over 60' its possible they are going to gas up, especially the small mutton snappers. It seems some species are more prone to it than others, I guess it's anatomical variety. I hate seeing throwbacks drift away on the surface.
