I once saw how some of the "freshwater anglers" release their fish! Watched a tournament weigh in quite by accident one day at a ramp I was launching my kayak! After having the fish in the live wells and coolers and buckets all day they weighed in the fish at the ponds edge and then flipped them all quite matter of factly, without any consideration for the fish, back into the pond!!!! So moral here....it depends on the individual and how much they care for and respect the resource! Still turns my stomach when I think about how they treated those fish! That about sums up how many, NOT ALL, tournament fishermen treat the resource!
