Nice catch you guys, but you gotta minimize handling time on those lakers when releasing them. I am not talking negative here, but for future outings have the pliers ready and snap a few quick pics and release it. Lakers will experience thermal shock and it disrupts blood flow in the gills. As a fish technician and fishing guide, I know this from experience.
