BASS TOURNAMENT 28% Dead +
28 % of fish caught in bass tournament die. If anyone keeps fish it goes higher the reason is the fish are hauled in a live well and treated like shit! What about an app on your phone so you can take a picture of the fish and let it go. Hey the three guys that caught the world record largemouth were great sportsmen they took pictures of fish to weigh fish and released it these guys should get the greatest Bass Sportsman award. That fish was worth a lot of money to Bass PRO SHOP. HEY STOP KILLING THE FISH PLEASE. I don't belong to PETA
Douglas, thanks for sharing. We certainly agree about fish care. Our goal should be low mortality rate to ensure that we protect the natural resource. To clarify though, the guys that caught Dottie hooked her outside the mouth, and they chose not to submit it for a world record. They more likely hoped for a live release so that they could catch her again in a fashion that would allow them to get the official record and make all that money. They were also accused of mishandling the fish and that she would probably die (which proved not true when she was found dead 2 years later).
Thank You
Very Much
