Proper Fish Care
Joe Balog at
BassFan.com
has written an article that covers proper fish care that he employed to care for Smallmouth on the great lakes during the hot summer months.
Fizzing for Deeply Caught Fish
Many of our tournaments occur during the time when fish are caught deep. We practice fizzing of fish to release the expanded air from the air bladder of the fish to help insure their safe return to the water.
The following link to
bassresource.com
which shows an in depth video by Doug Hannon which shows the proper way to fizz a bass caught deep.
There are additional articles on their website about fish care. Please help us to keep our fish healthy and alive.
The NYTBF will have available for sale the Bends Mender Deflator Needle fizzing tool at all of our tournaments .
