Realeasing decent sized fish from rocks that are getting pounded is probably the most dangerous thing we do---both for ourselves and the fish. It's also one of the most productive times to fish those places, and therein lies the dilemma.

I don't like to preach, but if I'm fishing in those circumstances, I don't release big fish. I keep my limit and then rack the rod. Sometimes you can walk the fish to a sheltered spot to land and release it with safety for yourself and without having the waves batter the fish against the rocks while you're climbing down to land it. If you can do it, that's the way to go. If not, well, it's your choice, but mine is to keep my table fish and move to another spot.
