something i've done that helps the fish equilibrate it's air bladder and release is to tie a small hook with some 15lb line and connect the other end to your anchor. lip hook the fish - just barely - and lower the anchor half way down and then give the anchor rope a tug. usually the fish will break off or pull the hook and swim away since the pressure deflates the bladder to normal levels.
