[QUOTE="Slappy, post: 349365, member: 7608"] A fish has zero percent chance in the livewell, and significantly better odds back in the water in most conditions if handled quickly and carefully. If 75% of released fish died there would be floaters everywhere. What's worse: a longer fight on light line or ripping them straight up from the depths with heavier line? I don't think it's the latter in most cases, especially for deeper walleye. Water temp is everything in my experience. Colder the better for the fish, regardless of depth. I never feel bad about releasing a big fish. At least then it has a chance. [/QUOTE]
