Thread: Will they live

I was at the weigh in at the Melvern Walleye tournament and a number of fish went belly up when the hit the water out of the chute. They stayed that way for a long time, some where returned to the holding tanks again and then put back in the lake they still were belly up for awhile, most did swim away. My question is will they survive long term.

Also a number of fish flopped out of the chute that they had set up and the only people that were there to return them were spectators like myself. No official seemed to be watching.
