I think cold water would be the absolute biggest help in keeping a fish alive, but not so cold that the fish is shocked I tried bringing this exact topic up a few years back. I postulated that the external body temperature of a striper in 80 degree water was greater than the WT at surface level temperatures. Does the lactic acid cause this? My understanding is that the lactic acid build up is what causes the mortality of the fish. Although not imediate and up to 72 hours later. My thought was-what if we cooled the fishes core temperature? Would this help to decrease the lactic acid and help for the survival of the fish. Naturally, this doesn't mean squat during the cooler months. Lets hear it!!

I am hoping to have the same scenario as Lund1 and Lund2 with my kids. So if we do happen upon one we are going to do everything we can to preserve the fish for release. I am sure the rest of the BW guys wish the Roanoke side best of luck to enter their 41"+ fish so they can release them to the dark side.

Heck - a 45" came out of the Blackwater a few weeks ago and a hook broke on one even bigger the next day. You guys gotta stop hogging all the big fish......

Wow....did Gator say "postulate"? Nah - according to Bigun, he and so are getting grouped with the old farts now so pretty sure he meant "prostate"
