He will likely spit it out due to stress
Think of it this way. You are walking down the street minding your own business. Someone drives by and snags you by the mouth and drags you down the street, then takes away your air supply for a while, While at the same time supporting your entire weight by your jaw.
You interested in eating a Big Mac ?

I have released fish that were spitting out the pieces of worm that broke off during the fight. So I agree with the don’t waste the time or worm.

I agree it is a waste of time. I have caught many fish that show evidence of having been caught very recently. Once released they will often start feeding again with little delay.

Lots of times bass and walleye regurgitate their stomachs contents while being retrieved and especially if in livewell

Hi Ron, I have the technical answer to the chicken/egg conundrum.
Do you want it here or tomorrow in a new thread?

As you retrieve the fish, mainly bass, they throw out several of the bait fish or worms that they have just eaten. The retrieve causes a trauma to the fish that takes time to dismiss and I doubt that they would take a worm or any other foreign object in their mouth for minutes, maybe hours after the catch. Most important, get them back into the water as soon as possible. Nature will take care of the rest.

How about Kentucky Fried Chicken lots of calories in that. Not a dumb question but a better idea is to use tackle that allows you to get the fish in faster. The longer it has to resist against you the less chance it has of surviving the encounter. It is something we choose to do in salt water.

If I'm not intending to eat; I won't put hooks in the water. If a fish is too short (or, in SOME cases), too long... I've always done my best, to "resuscitate" them, prior to release. I've seen Redfish & Grouper come to the surface rapidly, on a handline/ their gullets/¿tongues? all pushed outta their mouths, as a result of experiencing "the bends" (reportedly); ... ¿Ya got a hyperbaric chamber onboard, that'll circulate oxygenated seawater for the rascal? ... ¿No? ... Neither did we... We ate them.

My best Red Fish (38#) I did not even take it out of the water for a picture a lot of people lift up the
fish for a round of pictures and in the process the fish won't survive long after the release. Like you, if it is the size I can eat I will. Not a King Mackerel though my cat won't even eat that.

Hell, I've eaten one powerful amount of Spanish Mackerel, & enjoyed 'em... ¿What's wrong/ the Kingfish?
