Every once in a while you run across a BSB that will not gas-out on its own. I spent over an hour a few weeks ago working to get one back down. I had stopped carrying my vent tool, but I am going to start carrying it again as a last resort. I had at least 10 pounds of lead and heavy irons that did not even come close to taking him back down. The bigger the fish, and the deeper that it is caught, the greater the amount of air that will be in the airbladder. If it pops on its own (you will probably see bubbles coming out) they release easily, but if not they can be very difficult.
