Lactic Acid Buildup is the key factor in survival after release.
When we fight a fish for a long time, lactic acid builds up and can become toxic for many species of fish.
This Lactic Acid has no effect on flavor if you are keeping the fish. It can be deadly for the fish if releaed.
Advise: If you plan on releasing a long fighting fish, use bigger line and keep the fight short. Any fish that is going to make it to the table should just be caught, cleaned and brought home.[cool]
