Given the current fishing conditions, I plan to target bottom fish the next time I go out. The problem is that I always release fish that I do not plan to eat.
With that in mind, I would like to ask the question... are you able to effectively release most of these small fish, assuming that you want to?
I remember years ago fishing deep off LJ and having fish come up nearly exploded. I released most of them but I doubt that many survived.
Are there any guidelines about how to make sure a deep fish can returned home? I know that some people send them to the bottom lightly hooked and jerk them free at the appropriate time.
If someone has a tutorial to share on this subject, that would be welcome to me and probably others.
