Without drawing it out, my view is that most released bass go on to live
healthy, productive lives.


I don`t know about tournament fishing with catch and release. Do they go
home??
I know in a local lake by me that I have caught the same bass twice. It had a
scarred over eye with another scar right by the eye. A couple of friends of
mine who also fish the same lake said they also have caught that bass. They
also are catch and release fisherpeople. So for 3 or 4 people to catch and
release the same fish seems to me that the fish do fine.
