LARRY, lighten the EFFF up!
numby was only bringing TRUTH to your
simplistic generalization~~~ "many", "large"??
both are very subjective by definition,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
25#'s is NOT large, imho~~
8% is NOT many, as well~~
length of battle has far less to do with survival rate than water temps. soooooo your general supposition does NOT apply. it's fine to go ahead and slant your question, propose opinion; however, why not embrace the numbers instead of "resenting" them. Georgy was only brangin' you sum FACTS.
lastly,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Larry, you keep 8-10 stripers a yr and call that C&R??? i keep 2-4, TOPS!! perhaps more this year, should i be blessed with sumthin' LGE enough for the Team Board? but i will still try to limit it to no more than 5, counting ALL tournies for 2010. just my attempt to limit KILL, unless it has VALUE.
likewise,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the fact that we HAVE schoolies, trophies, med, lge, and all sizes inbetween proves that C&R is working to some extent, no? sure i've had to go back in an get the ones that turn belly-up after a concerted revival effort by man and prey, and it pains me every time. so if your question is how many of them were schoolies, and how many of them were lge? of the (4) in 5 yrs, way less than 8% of mine, 3 were over 30#, hooked DEEP (2), released in AUG water, and all of them fed my neighbors quite happily. and if your question is what happened to them AFTER? hard tellin', not knowin' as it is a rhetorical querry; but they shore went deep and they went in a hurry~~ "no worse for the wear", from my perspective.
not trying to stir the BF pot,,,,,,,,just trying to shed a li'l light, m'man.
