Bart, My guess is that the recent few years of decline , release mortality rates, etc. have made people more aware of things that no one ever thinks about when
fishing is booming. We all know that hooking a fish in the face isnt doing it any favors, but how many of us knew that 10% of properly released fish are suspected not to make it? I understand your question, and I agree, why not just do it anyway? I just think that its the lean times that make us think a bit harder about how to reduce the daily impact we have as we fish.
