And how many fish that the average "Joe" takes out of the lake actually survive? I would say 0! People really do need to get all the FACTS before making post and videos!

Yes, I saw that video on Crappie Connection on YouTube. Very interesting. A lot of bass die from these tournaments that are released due to STRESS. Even in the livewell, fish are stressed. No different than humans. Stress is a silent killer.

I should stop working then.

I saw that. He said they have a high mortality rate and even if they do swim off they continue to die off weeks later

Should have a fish fry after the tournament.

It doesn't matter how it's managed you can't please everyone. Mike Woods who was the head biologist for Louisiana at the time suggested donating them to a worthy cause. He said a thousand fish would have practically no effect on the lake. So, the first couple of years fish from the Darbonne tournament was donated to Louisiana Hunters for Heros. Some people didn't like that. ......

I can't understand why anybody would have a problem with the fish being donated that is so crazy to me
