Here is a video and article on the seaquiliser device. http://www.wcfga.com/rock-fish-conservation-release-devices/
I use it and it works great.

I'm not sure there is any way to know the answer to this or not but when their eyes blow up, what is the chance that they don't lose their vison upon returning to the depths? The eyes look like they explode...can't be good. Although a few years ago we caught a 17lb Burbot in Alberta that had no eyes at all. It was ridiculously long and skinny but clearly used its lateral like to hunt.

i tried the milk crate method and it seems to work good, you could do two fish if needed. it also protects the fish while its regains it ability to swim. price was good. anyone seen or used that technique?
Yeah. +1 on the Seaqualizer, too. Eazy Peazy.I believe its Law in Washington state now correct?
Ya I used 100' of 3/16 pull rope two clips, one for the box, one for the rear cleat. Throw the floater in the water chuck the box on top. When done I use the box to store weights and things.Haven’t heard of that one, seems pretty straightforward.
