Hope this helps clarify some things."

Don't you think more than 90% of those fish were going to die anyway. Art
Art thanks for the clarification, my numbers were just guesses assuming the worst scenarios. The actual actual numbers you provided, just further prove what I'm trying to say - That this tournament is just a drop in a bucket compared to the problems facing striped bass.
