lol never heard that before
Lately I've been fishing pretty deep, 30' to 40' and more often than not when I catch a short fish it will appear to be dead (air bladder problem). When I put them back into the lake they float away, sometimes they swim off and sometimes they die. Today I discovered that if I would give those fish a toss into the air rather than ease them back into the water, they would always swim off immediately. Guess the belly flop knocks the air back into em!!
lol never heard that before
Fishawk: what is happening is their bladders inflate do to the loss of water pressure,You can take a old syringe with out the plunger or buy a bends mender and deflate by poking it into the bladder just behind the pectorial fin.They will be just fine.
Letting the air out of bladder them bass boys call that Fizzin

Seen deep sea fishin' guys do something similar. I do it also, but I don't toss them in the air, I just throw them pretty hard head first and they take off straight down.

new olympic sport crappie throwiing lol id rather throw them than needle them
I hold them by the tail and drop them straight down so they hit head first with their mouth open. Sometimes it takes a few drops for them to take off. When it works you will see bubbles come out of the fishes mouth. I think the force of the water pushes the swim bladder back in and that's when the bubbles come out. Until the bubbles come out the fish will go down a ways then float back up.
You learn something new everday.
