you did the right thing on the kayak. no poking holes in fish. Keep the gills under water and lip em like a big bass. once they get a little life back in em, which is just a matter of time, they will equilibrate their bladder and be able to swim back down.

i think the mob jumped on the new guy because we kayakers (or PBs who fish like a kayaker) seem to be magnets for these things and dealing with them is more of a hassle than an out of control floundering experience.
