In reply to a question posted above: Caught when hot outside, out of water too long in warm weather, and too much angle on the lip hold even though for only a short time. We all have done it, but the science says many of these fish die over the next few days, and many never float, so we don't see them die. Just one of the many things that I learned later in life. Hopefully, this thread will lead others to investigate this. I certainly did my share of Googling when I first heard this. Of course, as with all online searches, it's important to look at the credibility of the source.
