Please Release Me or Catch and Release?

We use G Juice, not sure what�s the best but haven�t had any fish die.

Please release me and Peroxide.

G juice works immediately, please release me, rejuvenate or catch and release is a granule and has to de solve till it's affective

Catch and release is the newer product of please release me. Best stuff out there in my opinion. Sure life website has a lot of useful info on fish care

Thanks,got a container of each in SOT goodie bag.

Another vote for G Juice. If you have Oxygenators in your live well(s), it should be the only live well additive you use. Others can clog Oxygenators.

G Juice is my preference but had had good luck with please release me.

Please release me or catch and release. I have the fish guardian system where my additive is in a liquid state and is pumped into the live well. I dissolve the product by the gallons and add to holding container on board. Turn the pump on for a couple of seconds and additive is dispensed

Both are effective. Catch and release has some more beneficial ingredients but ultimately they're both salt with some extra additives. I'd stay away from rejuvenade; it seems to make the fish hyper. Not ideal when they're already stressed.

100% G-JUICE!!!!

I like please release me, I bought catch & release once and it clumped in the bottle for some reason, I know C&R has some additional additives PMR doesn't.

what an ignorant statement. it doesn't matter if its granular or liquid for immediate results. I would know, I used to make the stuff. some people...

the difference between catch and release and please release me is the newer CNR formula has calming ingredients for livewell transportation where as the original PRM has more medical ingredients to help blood clotting and slime regeneration etc. all the others are just a knock off and only contain methylene blue and no other helpful chemicals just like you would get at the pet store.

So would you recommend a half and half PRM/CNR?

Well that escalated quickly

Do you have any evidence for your claim about the �knock offs�, or are you likewise making ignorant statements? Disclaimer, I haven�t used an alternative to PRM (yet, will this weekend since I bought a bottle of G-Juice). Since you �used to make the stuff� maybe you can tell us; what are the active ingredients? I want to know what I am using to know how it might react with other components of my system.

I use red bull, I found it to be better than monster.

+1

Never used any and never had a problem. Then again I rarely keep fish in a livewell after June.

Better yet use Redbull and Vodlea

Did our own testing sir, nothing ignorant here. There's a reason BASS has sent me to many events to educate their top anglers on fish care.

Contact Tony at SureLife about ingredients, I know exactly but that's a trade secret.

CNR for normal use, add PRM if you have a bleeder or external wounds. Ice and H202 as well.

LMAO

I Like G-Juice its works for me

Despite which product one chooses, is using hydrogen peroxide suggested by everyone here?

Exactly! Sure life products are the best on the market. Catch and Release for normal livewell treatment and Please Release Me for injured, bleeding, or super high stressed fish. I know there are other products out there with better marketing, but when it comes down to actual fish care I will stand behind Sure Life and TFF member Tony Gergele over anything else out there. Do some searches on youtube and watch the man at work.

In moderation it can be helpful, to much and you just did worse to the fish than using nothing at all. I personally use it to clean my livewells but not as an additive when I have fish in the box.

A capful is all you need. If any of y'all need any questions answered just ask or pm me. I worked for SureLife and was bass pros live exhibits mgr for a decade. Fish care is my life.

I've heard the Sure life products and oxygenators don't mix well. They make oxygen through electrolysis (?) and it breaks down the salt NaCl and makes chlorine in your water. True?

G-Juice here. Don�t really care for the CNR/PRM. Just my opinion.

false

That's what my salt pool chlorinator does. But, it has electronics in it, maybe putting out a much higher voltage.

The oxygenator will do the same thing if there is salt in the water. Some additives contain salt also. Just something to watch out for when using those things. Atleast the package says it will, I never tested it

I have had a bad experience with Please release me, TXTT championship at Rayburn my partner and I catch 5 fish early and start runnng the livewell non-stop. I put Please release me in the livewell and all fish are swimming and healthy 10 minutes later we have two floating belly up dying what did I do wrong? The next day after our limit fish we just ran the livewell non-stop and they all lived.

same thing happened to me. First time I ever used an additive and it killed all of the fish. Yes I used the right amount. Could have been something else and it was just coincidence that it was the day I first tried using the stuff. I've never had a problem keeping fish alive using untreated water so I'm sticking with it. Bullet live wells are big and deep!

First time I have ever heard of this happening... I use Sure Life Products religiously and have even accidentally dumped 3 or 4 times the normal dose with no issues. If it would have been the additive I would think all the fish would have died, but thats a weird deal for sure.


Just from reading this thread the competition is doing a good job of trying to pull market share... all kinds of incorrect information floating around. When in doubt email or call Sure Life and get it straight from the man.

We use only catch and release with great results. Added pure oxygen system and fish are released in better shape than when caught. Sure life product didn't kill anyone's fish...

Tons of misinformation here.

I don't ever catch enough fish to worry about it...����.saves me the headache.

Well, let's hear it. Start a new thread or post it hear. Provide some facts to back it up. I'm not saying you dont know at all, just that if you do why not let us all know so we can do a better job.

???

ive been letting yall know since 2003, where have you been... traveling to events to speak pubplicly, on fox sports southwest 4 times per week, etc. ive done my share...

brain latimer has a good video on youtube

Sorry I dont follow you or know who you are. Just thought you could share some info but that's alright

Here's a taste! Doug Hannon was a huge believer in the products as well.

So senko I am asking for pure knowledge not being a smartazZ.
You say others are copies of sure life so here are my questions.
If G juice is a copy is it OK to use? (I have a bunch of it that came with boat)
Why does oxygenator advise not to use granulars?( other than the obvious that they make G juice)

It would be great to get these answers. I believe you on your ecperience but you only talk about sure life and never tell us that have been using the other stuff why we shouldn�t be using brand x.

Interesting post. Ford/Chevy stuff here.

I've used both products and as far as I can tell they work equally keeping fish alive. I've never lost a fish with either CNR/PRM or G juice. I use what is most readily available which happens to be Sure Life products.

It amazes me that people here has a question then suddenly it becomes a product bash session. Share your knowledge and experience and go from there.

As far as Senko9S, he is one of those anglers who actually has product experience and since he no longer works for Sure Life I trust his word that the product works as advertised. Not saying any of the other products aren't great but being the first on the market should say something for its reliability.

all of them work !!! just remember to use them

This

^^ this man should know.

I also operated a live release trailer for 4 years. We played with everything. G Juice worked best for us in the tank. We trusted in G Juice with hundreds of pounds of fish.

All of the products mentioned in this thread are reputable and work very well. One of the challenges with the �Oxygenator� is with the �granular� products as it can clog the emitters. That is one of the reasons �G-Juice� is recommended when operating an �Oxygenator� product. Tony recommended to me a while back to boil �Sure Life� if using with an �Oxygenator� to help eliminate the clogging of the emitters!

I've used G Juice this year. 20lb bag of ice, 1 oz G Juice, fill the live well and the recirculate. No dead fish yet.

Or just unplug the Oxygenators. Data has show they aren't worth the trouble.

For A Summer Fish care trick. Get a few empty 20 oz Gatorade bottles fill with lake water add your favorite Fish care product freeze place into your coolers until needed then remove the cap place in livewell and allow it to cool and slowly release the fish care juice in your livewells.

Did anyone else notice g juice uses a golden Dorado instead of a bass on their Facebook adds? I always laugh at that. Very odd

You can also place a drenched towel over your livewell lids while your fishing to curb radiant heat into the live well.
