Awesome... I had a fish biologist tell me that rejuvenade was actually bad for them (or so he said he was anyway)...he said to keep a bag of salt with me and just put a little salt in the livewells...

I prefer Catch and release by Surelife products.
The way it was explained to me by "The Dude" is that Rejuvenade uses a stimulant, where it makes your fish appear healthy even though they are stressed (adding more stress)
Please Release me/Catch and Release used a slight sedative that calms the fish down and reduces the stress being in a live well causes. Also with other additives to promote slime growth and to treat the water for chlorine/ammonia and other stuff that's toxic to the fish.

I like the Catch and Release, not only a TFF guy and friend of many here, but the powder is good to sprinkle on bleeders.

Sure Life Catch and Release is the only way to go it works and keeps your catch alive and healthy. We were at Falcon a few years ago when a guy caught a 15+ pound Share Lunker and I have no doubt if we wouldn't have been able to provide him with plenty of Catch and Release the bass never would have made it until the truck arrived from Athens. I never fish a tournament without it!!!

I heard the Catch and Release clogs the Oxygenator's which I do have, do they have a liquid version? I just bought the G-Juice since it's a liquid to give it a try, anyone else tried G-Juice?

Surelife Catch and Release, no doubt. Tried rejuvinade once, fish spit out stomach contents and one died. Penalty and lost weight cost us in a tournament. I bought it in a pinch, big mistake. In my opinion you are better off not using anything than you are using rejuvinade, but I have had very good success with Surelife. Keep in mind Catch and Release is just part of fish care, good aeratores and water temperatures are just as important.

Surelife works great and even helps injured fish if you sprinkle on them directly....

I was told the same thing, and have experienced better results with sure life products.

Catch and release, peroxide, ice. You won't lose many fish with that combo

Not to throw a wrench in the works but I use Please Release Me by Sure Life. I don't know if there is a difference between Please Release Me and Catch and Release or if they are the same product. PRM is a powder also and since I started using PRM several years ago I don't believe I have lost but 1-2 fish and they were badly deep hooked and just couldn't get the bleeding to stop. I use PRM in the Fish Guardian and use extra powder when needed.
FISHING NOW NOT WORKING ANYMORE

We ran a live release tank for years. The U2 pro formula was designed to be used in conjunction with the oxygenators. I prefer that over all others. It dissolves instantly and also stops any sort of bleeding. We tried them all and had the best results with U2. Not paid not sponsored by them. We bought it at full retail. The U2 is the real deal.
