I wonder how long Lampern lays awake at night figuring out what contraversial thread he can start next.
Lol.I wonder how long Lampern lays awake at night figuring out what contraversial thread he can start next.
Why the bad feeling for tournament guys , like y'all love to say on here , he caught it legal its his to eat , its safe to say 100 percent of the fried ones don't survive .
I dont know why they just cant man up and admit that it puts stress on the fish?They know it does yet they continue to defend it tooth and nail.Amen. They love to defend their actions come **** or high water.
Does taking a fish out of its home for an extended period of time, placing in water that is generally considerably warmer than where it was living, riding it around getting the crap beat out of for 5-6 hours, putting a cull tag in its lip, taking it out to measure several times a day, taking it to a weigh-in laid in a sack with several other fish, holding up the biggest one or two so you can post a pic on social media so you can become sponsored (aka 10% off at Hammonds), and then chunking it back in the lake miles away from where it was caught. Nah...probably doesn’t mess with the fish at all in comparison to the guy who catches it and immediately returns it back to the water.

Would anyone be willing to say so if it did?

Is that posted / enforced, or just a suggestion?On Lake Murray in SC stripers now routinely die when caught during the summer so you must keep your limit anymore. No release
I've heard that we lose a ton of the stripers taken out of Lanier during the summer months as well, but you don't often see that sentiment put out in the open. The fishery generates a lot of money for the area. Even if summer fishing hurts the fishery, fishermen not buying bait and tackle hurts wallets. Wallets being the more important of the two considerations.Not the largemouth tournament fisherman. Most striper fisherman will, and that is why a lot of us quit fishing once the water temps reach 80 degrees.
There is a grass roots effort by bass tournament guys at West Point to try to stop stocking stripers. According to them, they are the sole downfall of the largemouth fishery, although numerous studies show that is not the case. Within all the blame they place for whatever it is, they never once have taken efforts on their part to help the fishery. At least the Hammond's series on Lanier has gone to a 3 fish limit during the summer.
...and so opens can of worms #2The reason for the decline in largemouth and smallmouth fisheries in most lakes where it's happened is because of tournament guys illegally stocking spots and Alabama bass, not the stripers.
