Okay, I have to respectfully put my 2 bits in. I have fished Bear Lake for many years and we have released hundreds and hundreds of cutthroats over the years from all different depths from my boat. I have only had a handful go belly up. I think Scott and his crew are doing a great job managing that lake. It used to be that about 80% of the cuts had a clipped fin. Now it has completely reversed. About 80% are native.
I usually do not even take the fish out of the water. Just lean over the boat and give the lure a shake.
The DWR understands that there will be some mortality on fish that are released but when released properly most of them make it.
You can also use descender if the fish is having a problem getting back down.
Not looking for an argument, but this has just not been a problem on my boat.
