In response to reeling a fish slowly to the surface, Tom Pettengill responded"
"If your planning on releasing a fish it is better for them on one hand
to bring them up slowly. The down side of that is there are other
negative effects of fighting a fish for a long time if you plan to
release it. They build up lactic acid in their muscles that can also
cause delated mortality. It's a trade off and I don't have one good
answer for you."
