buddy of mine got a nice fish this weekend and I noticed it took him a lot longer to revive the fish than usual. I was like "what the hell is he doing" and he mentioned that was the issue.
On a positive note, if you only catch small fish like me, they seem to do quite well. I got a 27 inch fish that was previously gut hooked and the leader was hanging like 5 inches out of its mouth! fought hard too... I cut the leader as short as possible inside its mouth and he swam away while splashing the hell out of me..
