Thresher Conservation Debate - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The ram ventilation got me thinking about methods of successful release after a tail hook landing. Obviously Hobie guys could just pedal the fish around a little bit to force some water/air over its gills, but not so easy for us paddlers. I might try using my bait pump next time I have to deal with one in distress? Would that be too much water flow for the shark to get oxygen out of it? Using a 6v to a 500gpm bait pump.
