well I think it depends on how much fight the fish gave you... Have you ever known that when you fight with any fish for a long time they dont "splash" way??? its because when you get any fish in quick they are not tired but if it takes a long time that is a problem for them. Imagine being sent off "running" and you are not tired... you can run like normal but if you are sent off running after you ran a marathon and tired that becomes a problem. So it depends on how "tired" you think the fish is that determines how to release it
