I'll throw in a little cat tail.
On one night in August me and a couple of buddies were out top water fishing at about 11pm. My buddy toi my right landed the first blue. Weighed in at 13lbs. About 3 minutes later I caught one. Broke the line. About a minute after that my buddy to the left landed one. As we struggled with lights in thigh high water we were about to land him when he straightened the snap hook. He was much bigger than the first one.
Mind you this was on top water lures.
I haven't seen a difference in the survival of Blues. If they require more oxygen then they would provide me with a good safety measure.
