Very interesting post. I did not know that "light schoolie gear" was a death sentence for stripers. I take it because it takes longer for you to retrieve the fish and by then it is too late. I think that most would have guessed just the opposite.
I just read an interesting blip on the net this morning while heading for coffee. it stated that pulling up a fish too fast from the deep is also not good for the fish ? I would be interested in hearing comments about this.
I did realize that "flipping" the fish into the water was a No-No but did not realize that reviving a fish was as critical as it is stated here. I see that John Skinner does it all the time on this vids.
I guess this is the time for me to ask the question that came up this morning...... if you catch a keeper soon after you get on the water with a boat but definitely on the small side is there a way that you can keep it alive and healthy while you try for a larger one as we like to eat striper and obviously you'll get more filet on a larger one.
Is it legal to fish for a larger striper with intentions of releasing the smaller one on a stringer ?
Since I am knew at this looking for best advise, both legal and moral.
