Yes, they can absolutely experience barotrauma and great job sticking with that fish till you got her down. Early season can be tougher on fish coming from depths when the water column isn’t as stratified as later into the summer. I struggled for 45 min trying to release a 17lb laker last May in 65’. I ended up pulling off the same exact stunt you did here and watched her safely swim off on the graph. You never know for sure how they do afterwards, but left me very hopeful. Nice job and good luck this season
Thanks man. Great job saving your fish as well! I can tell your passionate about the fish when your doing acts like that. I need to purchase a descended der device. A real one.
Thank you! To be truthfully, I lost 70% of what I filmed. I almost wasn't going to make this video due to that reason. However several people have said they really enjoy it. So goes to show yah just post it lol.
They absolutely can experience barotrauma. It happens much more often when the fish is tired out, I fish them on heavier gear than most and usually the fight is less than 30s after hookup, significant improvement on the release
Yes, it's a balance. The slower retrieve e helps them balance e and gi especially time to burp, but they expell more energy. Come up quickly, higher chance of not expelling air but way more energy. I beleive bringing up fast and releasing quick is the best way like your doing. Especially once water warms more as summer progresses.
Deep humps or under water ledges, points. Same thing you look for when pike or Walleye fishing but instead of 12-30 feet look for it down 100-130 feet.
Such a hassle I’d just keep it.😂 I let go all my lakers normally but I won’t go out of my way to this extent for a release, my neighbour really like trout so whenever there’s a floater, he’ll have something in the smoker. Good job anyways that you manage to get it done🎉
Great video, Kevin! I really like how you take good care of your fish and ensure their safety. I live in Pickering and hopefully one day I could go fishing with you lol! How would I be in touch? Thanks - Bas
Great video kevin very informative. I'm glad you were able to save that laker it's happened to me twice once on the boat and the other on the kayak sadly wasn't able to save them . Where can i get that setup to lower the fish down. (Not the rigger). Save some fish for me planning to head out this weekend maybe see you out there.
Lake Trout can burp. Their air bladder is attached to their digestive track. Just like humans, they can burp to expell air. However, just like 5 odd time air gets trapped. Although very rare, it does happen.
Great work keeping that old gal alive
Thank you. Took a while, but hopefully, she can put a smile on someone else face one day!
Nice job on making the release work! Well done. Thanks for sharing ❤

I was so happy she didn't die!!

@@FoxFishing4K exactly, I do most of my laker fishing during summer time.
Respect for taking time to make sure that fish goes back home ALIVE

But beautiful fish👍
Thank you!
When your meaning deep structure do you actually mean structure down deep or just like deep humps. Never tried lakers

@@FoxFishing4K beautiful. Thank you. Always thought about trying for them on simcoe and muskoka lakes

I love all these larger fish. I would feel so bad if one died. If one dies, at least I can go to sleep knowing I did my all.
Solid save good stuff. No idea what bait you used tho lil click baity

Called a descended device, and I think Amazon or Cabelas. I need to get a new one, too. I have had fish die in the past, too unfortunately.
Fishing shouldn't be do over 8 meters its different when fish cum up to bait then you take fish from deep bottom
