I have read that fish caught below 30 feet may not survive after being released due to blood chemical changes and the expansion of their air bladder. Macks have the ability to burp gases from their air badder on the way up from the deep which I have seen many times. Many cutts are caught at Bear Lake and Strawberry alot deeper than 30 feet. What is the best way to handle fish caught deep to increase the odds of their survial? Has anybody seen fish with problems from being caught deep such as their air bladder protruding from its mouth? I have never seen this.
