Catching bass from deep water question

[Greg V]

Hello All,
I fished the OEX Oceanside tournament and had a blast. Thank You to everyone who these events together, it was awesome. I caught all my fish (sand bass) in 75 ft of water and I reeled them up as slowly as I possibly could, I timed one, at about 4 min. None of my fished died, but they didn't look like they were doing to good in my livewell. They were constantly rolling upside down. I would catch 2 and sprint to find the weigh boat, so they wouldn't die on me. My livewell works fine, I can leave spotty in there all day. My question is, do I reel them up even more slowly? Are the fish going to die if they are rolling around for couple of hours? Still in the learning curve mode so any advice is greatly appreciated.
