... this guy is fishing a stream with no thermocline. they don't go from cool to warm water... MD
That is not the issue. It is not that the fish is moved from cool(er) to warmer water. It is the overall lack of oxygen in water that is 80 degrees and above. Fish blow a lot of energy(oxygen) when caught and they have a very hard time replenishing themselves in warm water that contains little oxygen. Especially big fish. It's like running a mile at full speed then putting a bag over your head.
Nice catch. It is a nice fish and I do hope is survived.
