Actually, going fishing with Sauerkraut is the best defense against wanted or unwanted kills of any sized fish.
Eels in experienced hands probably have low mortality risk, but the learning curve takes its toll.
My sense is that plugs mutilate more fish than they directly kill.
Fishing in warm water has C&R mortality of 25-50% regardless of the technique used.
We all kill fish, and more than we think we do.
