Here is something that I just thought about...

What is the mortality rate of Largemouth bass? It is common practice to keep these guys in a small live well on a boat that is getting banged around for
hours during a tournament, Brough to scales in a bag of water, and then carried around hoisted like luggage in the air while shouting and running...
Who knows when they get released... and it is always assumed that they all survive. Do they? do most live? do many die?
do more largemouth bass die than we think? or do they mostly live?

If most largemouth bass live, is it possible the 10% striped bass mortality rate inaccurately high?
Just wondering if there is a correlation.
