Fight time is critical. Keeping one then you need them 100% spent when you get them up to the boat.
Releasing them? Horse em in with bigger gear and no LONG drawn out fight. If you feel a headshake type throbbing you've got em tail hooked. Even more important to get it quickly released before you drown em by dragging them in backwards.
Want to release and not tail hook? Then NO rapalas.
