Even in times of high oxygen I would question the wisdom of letting a fish rest. Allow the fish to recover, and it will thrash around using up all its new found energy. Not only does that make the whole process a waste of time but in the hands of a beginner it also increases the risk of injury to the fish.

We all like the piccys of hunter and hunted which to an outsider mean absolutely nothing.
Day or night do your stuff as quickly and safely as possible and let them back into there world.
Sacks should be banned on all waters.
Some fishermen should be banned as well.

Net, Weigh, Piccy, Return.
