[quote smokepoles]I expect those released perch did not make it brought up from 50'. Your call, but catch-n-release from that deep is not recommended .[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]Some do make it ; some don't. Studies indicate that percentages lost are 25% or less in most fish species. The ones that don't will probably end up as a meal for a bigger fish. In the grand scheme of things fisheries wise, the total loss to the perch population in any given body of water from catch-n-release is minimal at worst. Like you said, it was his call to make. Thanks for the report R4B. Peace and tight lines to both of you.[/size][/#800000][/font]
