Agree! 100% hate to see waste. In Florida, the FWC gave out hypodermic syringes with instructions on how to deflate the bladder, but the latest studies show that the survival rate for this method is not good. Now they suggest using a milk crate to send them down, or a hydrostatic release device that costs $50. Last out of season grouper I released with my downrigger weight connected to a jig that was barely hooked in the fishes lip. In theory, I was going to yank it free. Grouper skin was tougher than I though, and had to wind him up again to get it right for release -- wasting precious prime time fishing. I look forward to trying out this device -- Thanks.
