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.

Sounds like ya took too long reeling him up ; )
Just kidding. It's always bittersweet catching a bsb. Not too many people would have jumped in 58 degree water sans wetsuit. Balls of steel my man. Karma will reward you with a big flat boy next time
