After witnessing a few high flying bass acts off the rocks this weekend, I started to think of the damage the impact into the water these bass receive when tossed off rocks and that there must be a pretty high mortality rate of fish released this way after being stressed out by a fight instead of being eased into the water. I try my best to get as close to the water as possible and revive the fish (no matter what size) before I let them go...but sometimes with a high surf and tricky terrain it's tough. What does everyone feel is the best method in this situation? I guess it applies to mostly Rhody and some of the islands.
