Its not just a deep water deal, it also has a lot to do with stress and water temp IMO.

No. Only the one's who need it. I don't tournament fish so seldom ever put fish in the livewell. However, when releasing a fish with "the bends" it will not be able to go back down, in which case I will retrieve the fish and fizz before releasing. Coincidence is His way of remaining anonymous.

But, it's good to keep a jar of Catch and Release in the boat for the stressed.. "If you've quit learn'n, you might'as well quit fish'n cuz yer not catch'n as many fish as ya should be!"
