QA,

I did acclimate by letting water into the bags gradually over the course of at least an hour. I did start letting water into the bags pretty quickly as I was concerned they might be getting low on oxygen which was probably a mistake from what I've read. Update: I've caught 2 10+ inch YP in the last week so hopefully they're doing alright. I did pull a HBG out that was covered in sores ( cotton looking), hopefully this is an isolated occurrence as I haven't seen it on any other fish.
