CaptJohn,
I can understand where you are coming from and I salute you for your thoughts… but the truth of the matter is… It is up to the individual to decide the fish’s destiny! As I am sure you know… It’s someone’s “personal achievement” for all the hard work he/she has put on the water! Until it is unlawful to kill the said trophy – It’s within the rights for the individual to do whatever he/she pleases!
As far as facts are concerned – Majority of the 50 lbs. + are stressed out and the mortality release rate is high! I should know because I’ve witnessed enough trophy bass and yours truly have two (which was kept). As far as my future trophy bass are concerned… I will decide her faith when I nail her.
Let me ask you two simple questions…
1) What type of striper tackle do you use?
2) What would you do if you catch the next world record striper?
