NYOB and Doug,

I think Tom left a comma out while typing with one hand.

I think he meant to say: as to catch/release, it is almost never done
properly hook set and retrieval is never done properly and while it sounds
good, c/r hurts
more fish than it saves.

I read this to mean, that of those fish who are caught and released more
than 50% of the fish die anyway.

I have no idea if this is accurate, but what I have read the death rate
among catch and release is very high, even with barbless and circle hooks.

Proper "Catch and release hurts more fish than it saves?" Are you sure you
phrased that correctly? Afterall, the vast majority of fish caught and
released live to be fooled again.


it is really the fault of the quote pros end
quote who can't properly handle a fish and dont care.

the operation went well, i am very tired and can't do much. i was
tired of sitting around tv sucks and i netflix is slower than
molasses. i have to do everything left handed.


Here's to wishing you a speedy recovery! (because I'm sick of reading
sentences without the proper capitalization of words at the beginning of
sentences) ;-)
