The chance of natural morality for a bass is about 25% on any given year. Only 1 out of 17 dying is pretty darn great in my book. Frankly they may have a better chance surviving in Athens than in the wild. I'm sure they are getting all kinds of treatments and the best care biologists can provide. Zero doubt in my mind the program is a net positive to our fisheries. I do wonder if at some point they have enough of them that continuing to bring them in starts to diminish the returns. There’s the other high fence pro/sharealunker apologist! You must have been at CB the last couple of days! Curious to know where you get your percentages and zero doubts and so on? Read my books and you'll find out where I get the percentages. PM me your address and I'll send you copies for free!

Catching a sharelunker, snapping a picture, and quickly releasing is easy to say for those that have caught multiple DD fish.
I do question why people run to the marina with every 7,8 or 9 lb fish for a certified weight. However, I ran into a guy at Sandy Beach at P.K. one year that had a fish on a stringer that he just knew was the next lake record. I told him I had a scale if he wanted to get a weight before we started calling people. I grabbed the scale and when he lifted the fish out of the water, I knew this fish wasn't over 8 lbs. You would have thought his dog just died when I told him it was probably a heavy 7 and the scale read 7+ lbs. That man was convinced he had a 15+lb fish. I think that was solidly debunked when someone explained that fish that size dont need to be weighed on official scales like the giant ones do. im sure some might do that...but I think people that know whats up arent doing that kinda thing. Not sure what has been debunked. Saying i dont see the need in taking everyfish over 7 lbs to a.marina for a certified weight. If you follow Concho Marina on Facebook they are weighing tons of fish less than 10 lbs on a daily basis for people not tournament fishing. I dont blame the marina, they are doing a service for their customers. Other part was 100% factual story.

If I catch one. I'm donating just for the free replica. I'm to cheap to pay for one. Any idea how much one would be?

I’m no biologist but I would wager a lot of money that taking 9 fish out of a lake the size of Ivie caused absolutely no harm at all hell Toledo bend guys been keeping limits of bass for years don’t matter what size it is it’s going in the grease! I’ve never fished TB but seen plenty of threads with guys complaining about the amount of fish being taken and the bass population suffering. Do a Toledo Bend search and see for yourself. Man that place is crazy. It's the only lake in Texas where you'll see coastal rope stringers towed behind boats full of bass. 3 out of 4 boats out there keep everything I got a buddy on FB that lives over in South Louisiana and he is always posting pics of people with huge stringers all heading to the same conclusion...#RIG He showed several yesterday and one of them had a bucket of fillets and there 9 laying there with the smallest probably 4-5 pounds.

My buddy caught a DD in a local pond with a small hook in her lip. Snapped a picture and released her back. Within a week saw her dead on the bank. At least she looked like she dropped her eggs.
