Read in the most recent issue of Sport Fishing about a new way to* "calm" a fish down once you get him in the boat.* I'd been using a fiberglass billy for years, but this Capt. said that he kept a small spray bottle of tequila and just gave the fish a squirt in the gills and he calmed right down..........didn't mention if he needed salt and lemon.......

Has anyone tried this?* I can remember a couple of "green" cobia that Iwould have liked a hand with and this seems a heck of a lot more safethan trying to beat ones brains out with a billy

Yeah...one squirt for the fish and two for the fisherman works wonders!

I tried the towel idea on an ugly woman back in college. It worked wonders.

Not the GOOD tequila!!! If you must, try that Pepe Lopez crap.

I would think that any cheap liquor would work.....hmm, I typically always have some random bottle of cheap crap laying around that someone left at my house after a party or something.....in some cases that might beat the hell out of drinking it

If the fish is calm enough to spray booze in its gills then I would think you would have no problem putting them in the box!?

good stuff
