to release or not
I personally release a lot of them, a lot of times if you simply net them, keep the net in the water they get off by them selves, if there is any blood or if they are hooked deep, they go into the cooler. A few times I have went back by and seen one flopping on top of the water, if so, grab the net and scoop them up, I think, just like trout, if injured or dead, they float. I think the main thing is dont keep them out of the water any longer than necessary, dont squeeze them hard, be gentle. Thats my two bits worth
