the best way to be able to release fish successfully especially Dhuies is to bring them up nice and slowly.

in the past I have had good
in the past I have had good results releasing without a release weight,if you know its small and bring it up slow and let it sit under the boat for a while it will go back down. I've caught them in up to 50m,had know it work because of the number of tagged dhuies that were recaptured
all I'm saying is why use a release weight if you don't need to.
Fast fish rule!
