Return them right

Not sure of the name on the one I have; pretty happy with it, picked it up many years ago at the Hall Show.  Basically a spring loaded lip gripper with a place to clip a weight on the bottom.  Give a good hard tug and the jaws open. - john

Side note, I was surprised to find-out the slow growth rate of Rockfish species and the age range of mature ones. For example: Black Rockfish up to 50yrs old and reach sexual maturity at 6-8 yrs. Old.

Yelloweye, short raker and others are even older.

This is so good to see on my favorite forum! My daughter (I've spoken about her a few times on this site) is taking her PHD in Marine Biology at Florida and it is this program (Return em' Right) that is paying for her education and employees her. She is doing a lot of the statistics and research on this device. Very cool to see it come around with people I've associated with on the forum. She is one of my favorite humans to fish with and she uses a conventional reel, of course, because that's what she saw me fish with.

I wish to know more about the proper release depths and survival rates .
