third time's a looser
Caught this guy drifting eels yesterday, down wind of him on a spinning rod. By the time I took him in and measured we were both spent,,,, 
I tried 3 times to revive but each time he came back up belly up..........  ,,, the bright side is everyone I know had striper for supper last night 
Any tricks out there to bring one back from the here after, happen again this morning.

I would say to use heavier gear so it doesn't happen again if your not into keeping them

Exactly. Get em in quick and back in the water just as quick if your not fishing for dinner.On my boat we use "pool cues" and Abu 7000Ci or Big Game with 50# braid and 50# shock because we put almost everything back. At last count we have over 200 fish over 15# and we kept 6.
BTW, I am NOT saying you shouldn't keep fish. Nothing better than fresh striper on the grill. |
No boat, back in the suds.

It really depends on the spot that they were caught in. If you tell me where, I can tell you how to modify the tactic.  |

I use a telephone pole with guides and 11 pounds of drag minimum. keeps them up off the bottom and from taking very much line |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Sometimes they die. I get over it.
Like Ted Nugent says
You can't grill it until you kill it.

Yeah,
The biggest bass that I ever caught was on the "backup" rod that I put in the boat for years and never used.
I tried for about five minutes to make the thing kick again.
The only thing it had going for it was deep water. I have no idea how long it kept swimming but it did.
