Great video every club should have a copy to train anglers how to do this properly.

Yes, pretty much the same procedure on a smallmouth bass; or you can count down 4 rows of scales below the lateral line, and insert the needle there about the same distance back of the pectoral fin.

 

I can't emphasize enough to check your bass throughout the day if you keep them in a livewell.  Some times they will be fizzed and look fine, and then in an hour they may need to be fizzed again.

 

Waiting to fizz them stresses them and makes it harder for them to survive, so don't rush to get back to fishing if you know your bass came from 30+ feet of water; it will need to be fizzed so don't delay.

 

ciao,
