The reason why it's not recommended because most people don't know how to fish for fish in those depths properly. There is many topics in books on this subject. If you're pulling in a fish in those depths, you take your time, let them run around, they go over at all depths, then they will release their air and bubbles will come up to the surface. It works and I've never lost a fish doing this.
If you've ever been anywhere near a walleye tournament, people are fishing up to 50 FOW, catching, keeping and releasing if necessary. It's done all the time by people that know what they're doing. And a news flash...fish aren't going to be 25 feet or under this time of year anyway.
