Team Marine USA Pre-Vent Fish Venting Tool
![]()
Do your part today to rebuild the Fishery for
tomorrow……Today!!!
It has been a
long two year wait but Team Marine USA is proud to announce that
the much heralded Pre-Vent is finally moving into production.
The Pre-Vent was invented, designed and developed to humanely,
quickly and safely deflate the abdominal cavities of all reef
fish. Most bottom fish have an abdominal cavity containing a
swim bladder which functions to adjust its gases to match the
atmospheric pressure of a particular depth. Due to the rapid
ascent when caught, typically the swim bladder ruptures and
these gases greatly expand the abdominal cavity. This can place
enormous pressure on its internal organs. Unless properly
vented, these fish face eminent death and use of a knife usually
results in doing more harm than good. DO NOT CUT OR PUNCTURE
WHAT IS PROTRUDING OUT OF ITS MOUTH. This is not the swim
bladder, it’s the stomach. Also, the quicker a reef fish can
return to home depth, the better its chances to not fall prey to
predators.

Team Marine USA Pro Fizz Venting Tool
Save cold weather bass
If your tournament season runs deep into winter, you may need to
take some extra precautions to ensure your catch lives to see
the weigh-in.
Gene Gilliland, supervisor for Oklahoma’s Department of Wildlife
Conservation, says the most important thing to remember in a
cold weather tournament is to fizz fish if needed. “Since most
cold weather bass are caught deep, there’s a better chance
you’ll need to fizz them,” he says.
Fizzing involves taking a needle to a bass’ swim bladder to
relieve pressure that results from rapid changes in depth that
expand the air inside the fish’s bladder. Because the colder
water in the livewell has more oxygen in it, your No. 1 priority
is looking to see if a fish needs fizzing. You can tell if
fizzing is required because the fish will have trouble staying
upright in the livewell; it will be on its side and trying to
swim down because it can’t find its equilibrium.
To fizz from the side of the fish, sweep a pectoral fin flush to
the fish, then count two or three scales back and remove one
scale. Insert the needle where the scale was removed while
submerging the fish, and look for bubbles.
We recommend using a new fizzing tool from Team Marine.
Chris Horton, BASS conservation director, helped design it. This
tool has a needle that is the perfect size, is retractable, and
locks in place while in use. Purchase one with a BASS shield on
it and part of the proceeds will go to BASS conservation.
