    Throwing them like that can actually result in death... "Throwing a fish back into the water is likely to greatly decrease the fish's chances of survival. The major problem with tossing a fish back into the water is that the fish can go into shock, and float belly-up." www.bishfish.co.nz/articles/general/releaserules.htm also "Lifting a fish out of the water, dramatically decreases its survival chances.
