This is important and you'll really realize how important when they translate it into Apache, the ultimate compliment to any literary work. hahah
(see) "The World According to Garp" for reference.
Garp to wife Helen: "Nobody bought my first book and the same nobodys are going to buy my second book. Do you realize that they translated my Mother's book into Apache? APACHE Helen.
HAHAHA

You've made the big time when it's transcribed into a language only 4 people understand lol
I gotta see that agian
Rough Conditions
When high winds and water mix this can be a great opportunity to catch fish and inadvertently kill them, this is generally done by drowning the fish from the water flowing in reverse through the gills, it has been necessary for me to kick my trolling motor in gear and run parallel with the waves (Fishing partners are great for this) to revive fish on the leeward side of the boat, this is a very tricky condition to fish in especially in warm water, during the fall the release is much easier.
An essential tool that often gets left off the "release tool" list is an ANCHOR.
I always have a good heavy anchor with me and ready to use, especiallly during rough conditions.
Once the fish is in the net have your partner drop anchor and secure it.
With the fish on the leeward side of the boat you will minimize the negative impact of the waves.
I will use an anchor over the trolling motor for ease (quicker release) and safeties sake.
Safety for both the fish and the fisherman.
Just my $0.02 cents.

In rough conditions I've put the fish in a running live well and slowly motored into calm shallow water to release them I know it stresses them a lot but I think they have a better chance of making it. Dave O.

I connect a line to my two Knipex I carry in the boat. Always have two just in case. If I drop one over the side I just pull it back in with the line. I also always have a billy club in the boat incase someone gets hooks in um with the fish still attached. (of course in my boat the billy would be used to knock you out and get the fish off) hahah but in yours if you forgot or don't have Knipex, you may have to kill the fish unfortunately. It can happen even to the best. (ask Pearson)
