eardor,
You could say the same about Tarpon, catch and release freshwater trout rivers and the like but, the bottom line is responsibility with what you do.
Do the research to know how to do the bladder thing if it's what is needed for an errant Goliath or anything else that comes from the deep. Learn proper handling so that you do not cause internal damage or loss of slime. I am still learning and have made mistakes in the past.

Don't apologize for an important post.You sound like the kind of guy to fish with.
Good luck and tight lines.
