I think I reeled in a few really fast, but you are right that almost all of them did not need to be fizzed. I just released a little air fromPUZZLE wrote: Sat Feb 08, 2025 6:22 pm At what depth do you need to fizz a bass? I don't livewell them and always release after i catch. Havent ever seen any go belly up even the ones i mark at 45ft-50ft. Im all about respecting our resource btw. I dont even net or flip bass to preserve their slime coat. I lip them unhook and release.
a couple. I know that if you are catching bass off the bottom in 50 feet of more there is a chance they may need to be fizzed. I just
look at their eyes meaning if they are bulging, or when releasing the bass if they turn on their side or upside down I may pull them back in to let some air out,
