Really interesting video. Covers barotrauma and fizzing well.

Thanks

If you are looking for a great way to revive any barotrauma fish shoot me an email. I have prototype release clips that have been successfully tested on Smallmouth.
Very simple to use. With the clip attached to the line of any fishing rod, put clip onto the fish by placing it around the lower jaw bone, lower the fish and clip into the water by slowly releasing line from the reel. When the fish is pressurized and feeling good it will start to struggle. Simply jerk the line as if you are setting the hook (more so with mono than braid line) the clip opens and the fish is free to swim away. Reel in the clip and you are set knowing that fish will be healthy and well.

Email me for information on how to get your 3D printed prototype Quick-Release clip. "info@bramestorm.ca"

Post a picture please

Thanks for finding that Jim, it was most interesting, especially about the 31foot depths.

Jim, Great video.

D-Wayne, Have you tried a release with two lines. One main line to lower and second to release the holding mechanism when the fish reaches the bottom.

Thanks,
BATMAN

I'm wondering how your release will work with the walleye having actual teeth compared to SM.

One guy I spoke with used his downrigger with regular release attached to lower the lake trout down and it just shook loose when revived. Different animal I know.

My wife just sent me this. Is she trying to tell me something??

I tried that approach but it was way too cumbersome for my preference.
Like most of the useful products the simplicity is what makes it so special. So I took some time and refined the Quick-Release clip down to its essence.

A few points that I had to consider, the fish typically do not fight a lot when they are in distress due to the bloated bladder and when the bladder is shrunk and the fish is feeling better then the fish begins. So the Quick-Release clip does not require a '"locking mechanism" it just requires a way of holding the fish to get them down to the depths again. With the Quick-Release clip applied and the fish is lowered down the angler lowers the fish and waits for when the fish starts to fight and shake, the angler simply pulls up quickly and the Quick-Release opens up and the fish swims away....
It took a while to get the simplistic approach designed properly to work but it has been very effective so far.
So what if the fish struggles and gets off the clip? Well that is why this is a prototype, the trials with small-mouth and even the odd large-mouth bass have been very successful. So now to have others try the Quick-Release clips out with Walleye, Sheep-head and other deep water fish effected by bloating bladder.

This is another pet project that is designed to help the fishery. The SoftLock culling clip is another project that answers the tournament focus of "No-Harm" to the fish. I would like to see how the SoftLock culling clips work with the Walleye tournament trail.

Thanks for your interest in the Quick-Release clip, to those who requested a clip I look forward to hearing your experiences.

Dwayne

D-Wayne, In the fall, like many others, jig for Walleye in around 30 ft of water. Just at the safe to release depth. Sometimes I might drift into deeper water and catch Walleye over the safe 30 ft depth. I would like to try one of your clips. I'd report out how they work for me. BATMAN
