Re: A question for John Viar, Little guys and their survival, single hooks or trebel and more???.
Last week I had one that went belly up for a while (maybe took too long to release him ?) so as he was a 3 pounder I turned the boat around and preceeded to pick him up. Just as I got back to him he he flipped himself over and with a flash he went back down, hope he made it.
I think if I got one with a bladder hanging out of his mouth I wouldn't release, it as Salmon seem so delicate once out of water, I can't see how it would survive.
