Don't give it another thought......then it won't bother you!



Personally I believe if you crush your barbs and treat them right and release them carefully I don't see where the problem is? Out of 100 fish who are well cared for what do you think the mortality rate might be? I am guessing none if none are hooked deep?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I would think there is a very small mortality rate on winter schoolies.

The cold water temps contain alot of O2 and they are fiesty little critters when released.

Remember reading one time that mortality rate on released steelhead is aorund
20% are larger fish and expend alot of energy compared to a schoolie that is landed quickly.
