I don't see how there is any true difference between fishing for small fish or large. When you fish you are putting a hook in a fishes mouth.

Because there is a huge difference putting a single hook in the mouth of a few big fish, rather than standing there catching 50 12" bass, especially on treble hooks. I think bigger fish, handled well and fought quickly are more resilient to release than small bass. The bones and flesh inside the mouth and through it thicker, and tougher. Hooks do less damage. Anything down past the gullet, IMHO is a dead fish.
the upside if it is over 28" is I can take it home and eat it, rather than release it to float.
Mike is a humongous snob, for the record.
