Try changing out the treble hooks for single hooks. See if the bait action is the same. You could also bend down the barb on the hook (s).

You could also do like George1 does when fishing in warm weather. He has a fish first aid revival station. It's a rubbermaid tote, water, a micropore diffuser and an Oxygen cylinder. He places the fish in the highly ocygenated water to revive.

That's all I got.
