Really difficult reviving fish with the water as warm as it is. I think they build a lot of lactic acid and the warm water prevents dissipation.

I had one about 28# the other night and it took a good 10 minutes moving here back and forth before she could swim on her own. I hate to think of one going belly up after reviving but I'm sure it happens.

No boat, back in the suds.
