. I spent some time looking around the net for some scientific references. It is a little hard because the good, recent science is in Journals that require subscriptions. However I did find a couple. I would like some opinions but I would ask that you read some or all of the references first and then comment on what you actually read. Thanks.
Ocean species catch and release
This one is a proposal for a study that wasn't funded but has some explanations and references. Sturgeon proposal
Trout reproduction problems caused by stress
The effect of weigh-ins and air stress on Walleye
Ocean hooking mortality
Stress tolerance
Alaska stress from catching by "expert" anglers
There are many more studies out there. These are just a couple of them that I found. If you know of any others please post the links here. (It's all yours *** :grin: )
