The original poster is absolutely correct. Everything underwater looks 20% larger than it actually is. I will never forget spearfishing tautog when I was in high school and I got out of the water so excited about the "big" fish I caught only to see that it was actually pretty small. That would be a bad scenario for the striped bass.
I would say that most fish that are returned to the water with a minute or so of venting are going to live. I especially doubt that someone that fly fishes would be careless enough to kill a schoolie. Whenever someone says this I always wonder why I don't see dead fish just floating all over the place? Its because they live!!
