It can come in handy sometimes. I had a couple of days bass fishing this summer where I was fishing crankbaits as fast as I could, and the fish were just inhaling them. The hooks weren't that hard to remove, but gills were nicked on a few nice 17-18" fish and they were bleeding fairly heavily. If all it takes to save some nice fish, is dumping an ounce of soda down their throats, I'm up for it. I guess in this case it doesn't really matter as the canal company threw a tantrum over not getting permission to build the dam they want, so they drained the whole thing and killed all the fish a few weeks later anyway.
