Flushing Big Fish Down a Giant Toilet

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

In this vlog, I attended a bass fishing tournament on Lake Sam Rayburn and discovered they had built a giant toilet for holding and flushing fish back into the lake. The big concrete toilet sits on top of a hill and is attached to a pipe that runs all the way down into the lake where it emtpys the fish under a shaded dock under the water. This is strange, but brilliant way to keep the fish healthy and put as little stress as possible on them. The big toilet is designed to flush down fish up to ten pounds! We saw many largemouth bass in the five to seven pound range being flushed down the toilet and right into the lake. On a lake that has bass fishing tournaments nearly every weekend, this is a unique and smart way to keep the mortatlity rate of the fish down and keep on of the best bass fishing lakes in the country putting out big fish to be caught again another day.

the basket is for reviving fish caught from deep water. since every 15 feet is a different level of water pressure, a fish brought up from the deep doesn't have enough time to normalize the pressure in it's body and the swim bladder blows up like a balloon. if they're dropped back down with the crate, the pressure is released, decreasing fish mortality. He's also not the first to do this. saltwater fishermen have been using that technique and multiple others to support catch and release for YEARS now

I dunno about tha flushing thing. Just go drop me off at the water. That just seems like a good way of damaging the already stressed and damaged fishes. Who knows maybe they are all good.
