Thanks to the Fish and Game guys for that great reply. I love to fish Winnie and hate to compete with the bass tourneys, but each to there own.
I have noticed in many different states the type of release after the weight in's are done, one state puts the fish in a pontoon type boat with a tank and takes the fish out into the lake to be released.
Doing this instead of releasing in a cove, say Silver Sands for instance. Would this help the fish caught stay healthier? Would it return the fish to a more natural settings? Just a few thoughts on how fish caught in tourneys can be released, I realize that you cannot possibly go to every point or dock or area to do this.
I would like to hear from the F&G and tourney fisherman.
Is there some natural way rock bass can be reduced in lakes where there population has greatly increased to the detriment of bass and other fish?
