We are really all hypocrites unless you take all your fishing gear and lock it up for a number of years. Doesn't matter if your a rec, c&r, comm, charter, plug maker, tackle seller, interweb board member, club member.
The 9% release mortality rate does not discriminate, period.
Those of you that say you only keep a few a year for the table but c&r thousands have actually killed hundreds.....sorry, did I make you feel bad.....
Dead is dead.........it is called life and having fun.
When I think about it, I have killed allot of bass...........and so have you all.
So unless you pick up the golf clubs and sell all your fishing gear for 10 years we really talking about nothing.
Going to 1 @ 28 for a bit may be in the right direction to see where this is all headed. Unfortunatly, I don't think it will unless done ALL up and down the coast......and even this is a stretch. I put more of the blame on cyclical environmental conditions, gill nets, dragger bycatch, low inshore bait etc.
See you on the water.
