He looked more excited than Josh, that Josh had won...Its BASS fault for scheduling this event for right now, when the fish are deep, and vulnerable. Clips and needles are not the cure. Yep. I knew it couldn't be the anglers fault. REALLY??? what? It's not in BASS to schedule a safe time for the fish. It's on the angler to take care of them. I dont agree.

The anglers were making 120 mile trips, at 70mph, to get to spots, in rough water. That hurts the fish just as much as not fizzing.

Look how far of a ride some of the fish make at the classic to weigh in. Is that the anglers fault to?

I would be quite a lot more satisfied, if 100% of fish were weighed on boat and released. There isnt anything exciting to me about watching a guy tote a fish thats dying held up high from his boat to the scale...

Nick they go north when the water isn't hard, because they can't go when it is.
Anglers fish down here when the water is 95 degrees and they know how to keep them healthy.

Barotrauma is difficult to anticipate. Ive seen smallies come off bottom in 45 and be okay. Largemouth in 20 die from it.
I dont think an angler should have to fizz every fish that floats, I think that fizzing should be used for emergencies, because its risky. You saw all the floating fish last week, so reschedule it for when it fishes shallow. No angler is going to declinate his morale compass to those 2 pounders up shallow, when everyone else is pulling 6s from 30+ feet. Other option? Stiff mortality penalties.

Bottom line. Weigh and release in the boat. Educate on proper fizzing technique, and schedule events in the best interest of the fish.

Id be interested in a catch and cook at weigh ins, but I bet a 6 pound smallmouth tastes like a shoe sole.

Don't know why people are so shocked. A lot of fish die in summertime tourny's. We all know this. Remember a few years ago on Falcon? WOW

I agree with Nick. If every boat has an official in it anyway, why not weigh the fish and release them on the spot?
It's only a good cast if you catch a fish...

You guys with all the answers ought to go to work for BASS and solve all their problems for them. Don't know they got along all these years without you.
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.
