"Research has now shown that simply exposing fish to air is also stressful. The point here is that while some handling is unavoidable, it should be kept to a minimum, and fish should not be exposed to air any longer than is absolutely necessary." - This was my point with Dave's fish. Handling them is one thing. Allowing them to flop around on a tarp is another. "

If you're going to preach about stressing fish , you better quit fishing because the second you hook a fish and start making him fight , you're stressing it.
And who are you to say how much is too much?
Are you sating that because you only do it a little bit , it's ok. LOL
That's like saying " I only shot him once so it's ok. But , he shot him six times , so it's not ok. "
Either you agree to stressing fish , or you don't. Which is it?

" You also have to look at the money returned to the conservation of the sport. Just look at B.A.S.S., for one example. The tournaments that they have may be the cause of some fish receiving undo stress but much of the money they generate goes back into the fish, helping for better habitat and replacement of fish. This leaves the fish better, as a whole, than before they were around. "

Isn't that what our license money does?
Any money that B.A.S.S. has spent doesn't hold a candle to what our license money has done.
I've seen the DNR plant our lake with walleye with our license money , but I've never seen any of the BASS tournament guys do anything to help the lake.

Jesus made some fishermen "fishers of men".

I do the best I can to keep my fish alive to be released but I am not perfect. I don't see a lot of dead fish in the places I fish, so I reckon I am not hurting them too bad.

I see all kinds of catch and release on the various fishing shows I watch. I have the World Fishing Network, 24/7 of nothing but fishing shows. I watch a lot of others on other networks and have a large video collection on DVDS. I am a student on catch and release. I will probably go with an immediate release if I can find a lens I can mount on my head and hook into one of my camcorders. I have done google searchs but haven't found what I need.

Aaron, Frances Gail knows I am a braggart but still loves me.

Lakeland,
Bass Pro Shops and Cabelas sell a new product for hunters to record their hunt. It is a hard drive (no tape) video camera that is about the size of a D cell battery. It clips on your hat and records a couple hours of video which you can then transfer to your computer. I've never used one so I can't speak of the quality. I just saw them in their latest magazine.

I will definately check out the Bass Pro camcorder. It sounds like just what I am looking for. I have several items picked out to order from them any way, so another item won't be a big thing.

You know how I know Frances Gail loves me? When I write out an order from Bass Pro, instead of complaing like some women might, she asks if I have enough money? She would give some of hers if I needed it. LOL

She is a good gal that is always with me at the hunts. Most of the guys like her a lot better than they like me. Just ask Todd K., he knows Frances Gail from way back. I am sure he likes Frances Gail a lot better than me! LOL

I hunt Redtick English, that is for sure. But, these days I have several English Blueticks. It just worked out that way.

Thank you. I looked it up and they also had another one cheaper and possibly, better. It was only $100 and got better reviews. I will most likey order one or the other in my next BassPro order. I thinkj they would make good fishing videos and maybe, beagle videos. I can imagion what I may look like with one strapped on my head! LOL But, if I can share some videos with you guys, it would be worth it.

Mitch, I didn't think you noticed! Please leave the myth out, nothing but the truth here. LOL. You are not being sarcastic are you? LOL

One has to be real careful eating fish caught in the wild these days.
