Hate seeing this news. I agree. Fish get stressed out from being caught, especially these older 10-16 pound fish.
Just think about it. If you’re 60+ years old. You’re old but still strong and virile and reasonably stable. You have your home and everything you need for survival set up.
And then someone grabs you and thrusts you in a totally foreign and barren environment. A sterile plastic tub and then transfers you to a sterile concrete tub for weeks.
It’s not hard to see why so few fish survive that experience. It’s easy to see how stressed big fish already become from being in a livewell for a few hours.
Let them get back to their environment and stabilize in the best way they know how to.
Keep on stocking Florida bass. No need to keep on grabbing so many fish out of those lakes.
Almost wonder if it’s the publicity alone that makes so many people donate their fish.

now this might sound like a crazy questions, but I gotta ask. Do you all feel that you have more knowledge about black bass and freshwater lakes than the biologist and people that work for TP&W on the sharelunker program?

and I got roasted when I said I hope tpwd doesnt kill em all. So does anyone know the real answers on this? They love boasting about the SAL that get brought in but say nothing when it comes to the fact that some die and never spawn again.

Just because scientists have education and make decisions don't make them the correct ones.

Just because scientists have education and make decisions don't make them the correct ones. OK...but thats not what I asked. I wonder if you all feel you know more about black bass than them...considering they have the education mentioned, but also have many more data points and experience with big bass than pretty much everyone else in the country and potentially the world. I dont think there is or has been anyone actively and continually studying big bass and how they function than the TP&W people. So thats why im wondering if you all feel like you know more than them? EDIT: The guy in the Miliken fishing video said he'd been doing it 20 years. Thats a lot of experience in addition to education.

One of the 17 fish submitted has passed, we have not had issues with any other fish.
PM from the program on FB.

Education should never over ride common sense. IMO
I have seen fish and game Biologist make many mistakes in the field and refuse to say they made a mistake or was wrong.
As mentioned above all for the Glory !
I thought Catch And Release was a BIG THING at one TIME. Everyone was proud to catch a big one and release it.

At least they are trying. TPWD is leading the efforts nationally to improve fisheries.
None of you would ever catch those fish if they were released and you have zero clue about whether they would’ve lived or died upon release. It sucks if they died but its had plenty of years to reproduce its genetics. For all we know they were at deaths door from Mercury poisoning by eating too much fish.

It’s spawned enough, time to remove it? Fish die from eating to many fish?
