If a fish is hooked deep and/or bleeding, I pour Mountain Dew on the spot and put the fish in the livewell. Something in the MD stops the bleeding and makes it clot is my take. Haven’t lost one. Might just make me feel better. 😆 Coach Wishin I was Fishin!!!

Then a healthy dose in the live well and your fish won’t die. Mountain Dew will stop the bleeding but does nothing to calm or help the fish.

This is why I buy the big bottle and keep it in my boat. Nothing worse than a fish choking down your bait and bleeding away.
