[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]You're correct, mtnman. Unfortnately, there is a mortality rate when any fish is taken from its environment. No type of catch and release, whether it be gillnetting or angling has 100% survivial. Heck, just go out to the rockpile during the cisco run and see all the dead fish floating from anglers snagging their limits of cisco. How many time have you personally been involved where you caught a fish and tried to release it but even with all your best intentions, the fish would not go back down and bellied up? I'd say there is a fairly significant death rate taken from us anglers too.[/size][/black][/font]
