I tend to agree with all you said. Personally, I don't fish
tournaments, so all are released right over their beds after being
caught. I don't like the idea of them being removed from their beds
and released near a dock after weigh-in, but I know of no studies that
indicate it harms the population in a healthy lake.

Like I said, I wish I could find both of those studies. It made interesting
reading, and both studies made some very valid points. But it's pretty much
immaterial as like you, I like to release the fish back to their beds.
