cruisin back from Charles patches area and came across this cod floatin belly up. He was still breathing well but couldnt submerge. Had a look and didnt see any leader or hooks in his gob...barotrauma? Seemed strange he would be floating belly up like that and still breathing well. Any ideas

Someone must of been disappointed with the catch and threw it back .
Poor bugger cant dive with air in its bladder. You said no hooks in it?
Might of been stunned by a stray spear ???

contrary to what Bruce the shark says in Finding Nemo. Fish ARE food, not friends.
Cod is pretty nice rolled in flour and herb mix, pan fried in lots of butter and served with fresh spicy mexican salsa!
Bruce the shark, there's always one -" I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food."

Must be something to this phnomena (spell) cos me and the JD found lots of Trout floating belly up out wide of Dundee couple weeks back - they werent happy when the net hit em but!! Even less happy when the ice in the kill tank hit them i reckon
