Why are the juvi-Cbass so fragile? When I used to tube at NPH I caught one, handled with with a soft net, kept it in the water until I went for the photo shot, and boom the fish still went belly up when I released it. The fish survived though after a couple minutes of reviving it.

I try and release mine while in the water still, but
they can get a bit squirrely at times.
Learned from others that its not a good idea to pick them up,
removing their slime coat I guess.

Maybe they build up acids while on the hook, during the fight, that shock their system...

Saba Slayer would be the guy to ask.
