Had a good time that day. Was nice to get a short break out of the shop. Just wish there had been more in the livewell that day lol

[@BassGeek]

Bass Munitions Lures Wish we could have caught more.

[@bassmunitionslures2389]

Next time

[@GetRichBuyGuns]

50 ft! Ive never caught that deep. Most of my local lakes are shallower than that. I have a few coastal lakes near by that i want to practise on. Good video. Never thought about the released fish spooking the group. Thanks

[@BassGeek]

GetRichBuyGuns I like to keep them until time to move on if not in a tournament.

[@ChrisKingOutdoors]

This is gold bud!!! Such a great tip!

[@BassGeek]

Chris King Outdoors Thanks man!

[@outdoort.v.3387]

Hey man love the vids keep it up!

[@BassGeek]

Brody Baker Thanks.

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

I like these a lot better then having to poke them like you said. Used them last weekend on a couple

[@BassGeek]

Jeff Gerald Nice man.

[@bobwilliamson2828]

Thanks for the great tip, I've never caught a fish that deep down here in the south, most lakes not that deep where I fish

[@BassGeek]

I'm up in the mountains of TN These lakes can get really deep.

[@richshackelford5793]

Great tip Hank

[@BassGeek]

Rich Shackelford Thank you sir

[@Fishingchanneltv]

don´t know that way, always learning

[@BassGeek]

Cool. Thanks for watching.

[@oldman5363]

Great tip thanks

[@BassGeek]

OldMan Thank you sir.

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

Great solution to a common problem.!

[@BassGeek]

Team Jesus Outdoors You have to keep’em out of the lake longer but it’s better for the fish.

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

In cold water, they can last a long time in the live well.

[@BassGeek]

Team Jesus Outdoors Yeah it’s much easier on’em. During the summer you have to keep that water temp down

[@cabraljoshbeer]

Great video bud

[@BassGeek]

Thank you sir.

Love your videos on catching deep smallmouth! That said I have never heard a biologist recommend anything but fizzing or immediate release. Clips may get them to weigh in but the fish is dead from internal damage.

[@BassGeek]

I know everyone has their opinions on this subject. I use both fin clips and fizzing. I think bass are resilient fish. Some prefer to fizz others prefer alternative methods like fin clips. Personally I use both. It's not that the air bladder swelling causes damage. The air bladder has plenty of room to expand. It's when the air bladder puts pressure on other organs over long periods of time, combined with the exhaustion of bass trying to upright it's self in the live well, that kills fish. By putting treatment in the live well to calm the fish and adding fin clips you give the fish time to naturally expel the gas with less risk of infection and incorrect fizzing procedure. To prove that fish can make it to the weigh in without EVER being fizzed and still released healthy watch this Bassmaster video with Fisheries Biologist and NY Conservation Director Barb Elliott: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6iUdYB_gZWVbKc I've shown FLW people how to fizz and know those fish survive after spending the day in a live well so internal damage is an over all myth.

[@time3879]

I’m familiar with the video you linked. In it she states that fish cannot expel or “burp” out air naturally. She also talks about using a reamer when fizzing from the side, that is a very important part and I think gives a lot of people trouble. I have very good luck fizzing thru fish’s mouth. At any rate thanks for talking about barotrauma and it’s importance. It bothers me seeing suffering fish on televised professional tournaments. Seems the pros have a flippant attitude about the fish.

[@rippinlips5717]

Awesome job sir!!

[@BassGeek]

Rippin lips57 Thank you sir.

[@TackleJunky81]

Pretty slick!

[@BassGeek]

Thank ya sir.

[@MoneyBass]

Great tip. I made my own. *Catching Bass for Cash*

[@BassGeek]

Lot's of guys do. Cools stuff.

[@hotkey180]

That's a way better than poking a hole in them or do you still have to poke a hole in them to let the air out? And whilst I've got your attention what do you know about a fish finder for the bank fisherman? Thanks for showing us this video, tight lines.

[@BassGeek]

codfishing180 You Don’t it you have to let the fish sit in the live well for a while. If it comes time to release the and you take the clips off but they still go belly up. You will have to poke’em. Most of the time within an hour however they are good to go. The deeper is really the best out there. It uses your smart phone and even has a mapping function.

[@hotkey180]

@@BassGeek thank you for getting back to me good to know! for when I catch the golden perch we have here in Australia the deeper is $500 not cheap I've got one coming it's got most of them things on it for $160 see how I go. thanks again.

[@BassGeek]

Cool I can't wait to see it.

[@JustFishingTV]

NIce Tip bro.

[@BassGeek]

Thanks man!

[@stockstnt8]

Does this really work putting clips onthe fish too funny

[@BassGeek]

Yes it does. It’s really the safest way to get fish caught from deep water to re-pressurize.

[@stockstnt8]

@@BassGeek i need this for my personal fish im about to try fizzing today once i get needle it is a tinfoil barb and big one . I cant see any clips helping usually the pea feeding has workedfor my others but not this one

[@HOOKEMINTHEMOUTHKAYAKFISHING]

Holy smallmouth! 😂

[@BassGeek]

HOOKEM IN THE MOUTH KAYAK FISHING Lol Thanks man.

[@Honks34]

Sorry but these do not actually work. The fish being upright does nothing to alleviate barotrauma.

[@BassGeek]

Your wrong! Used them for years they work you have to have live well treatment.

[@Honks34]

Actually I’m not. Please enlighten me on how a fin clip decompresses a swimbladder.
