This is not a paid endorsement I just believe in the product and once again see it save bass. At The Tyler Open on Sunday I had an angler bring me a 7.00 lb bass that was bloated and would not upright itself. He did the right thing by bringing in early as the more time the bass remain in the livewell in that condition the greater the odds that at weigh in that fish will not make it back into the lake. Rather than fizz the fish I chose to add a couple of flip clips to the pectoral fins and leave the fish in the sure-life treated re-hab tank. At weigh-in other bass were added and at the close of the event I was releasing all of the bass and the 7 pounder was doing great, had shook off the FlipClips and was holding steady on the bottom and ready to go back into the lake. There are always risk involved with fizzing and why puncture a fish in its swim bladder if not needed. I recommend all tournament anglers get a couple of sets of these and rather than fizzing all fish give these a try. I have used them in tournaments and they have saved fish for me everytime. Less than $5 for 3 and well worth the money. One dead bass cost us all in tournament winnings and in the resource not being returned to the water. http://www.flipclipfishing.com/

I`m a huge fan of them, too. I`ve had a few cases where they were needed, and they worked every time. I carry two sets of them with me in the boat incase I run across someone who needs one.

That's looks pretty cool thanks.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know when to go fishing.

? for you guys. So instead of having to fizz a fish. You just upright the fish with these clips and they naturally release the air?

Taking 5 to the weigh-in occurs when opportunity meets successful execution of one's preparation.

who tried to kill that fish???? Was it Tom Mayne????
LoL...just giving Tom a hard time.
Mark, great job on working hard on that fish. Lake Tyler is a special lake to me, I have fished it so much and it is so incredible it kills me to see some of these big fish die. It's just part of fishing and cant be avoided, but to see Tournament Directors take such GREAT care of the fish is incredible. Keep up the tournaments and thank for taking care of our fish!!!
