This sounds like it could be contributing to the declining perch numbers throughout many lakes over the last few years: People just catching them and hope for the best after they're released. I feel strongly that in order to reduce the mortality rates in some of these species, we should either fish for another species or quit fishing. No use killing 25% of any kind of fish just for an 'outing'.
