Do you really think there are intellectuals on this site

Nice fish Wade, too bad we can't see them!

If treated correctly most fish do survive after being released. Unfortunately most people on this website these days are Amateurs. These newbies are looking at The KID, Darkdonkey, and even you Wade for examples and information. That being said, most of these armatures barely know how to fish, let alone paddle a kayak or swim. As a result, many of them DO NOT know how to successfully release fish.

So as far as your question about harm versus good, I would have to lean more towards harmful.

Your post is inspirational, but If you truly respect the wsb fishery you do not CNR wsb for fun. The fish do not benefit from an ego boosting CNR experience. The only thing your video did is convince more people to get on the water this weekend. More people fishing means more dead fish. There is nothing wrong with dead fish. I kill fish all the time. I just don't understand the why world needs to know about it.

Yea, some people may have been inspired because you released a few fish, but that is a mute point. The key word here is inspired. I doubt any of the people who are motivated to fish this weekend now will release a WSB successfully... it takes a lot of experience to CNR fish the "right way" and I doubt that most of the guys that saw the video know what they are doing... which is why I am responding to this post. I hope that my response makes people learn more about the best methods for CNR. Good post, although I disagree with CNR fishing. I think there are more important and fun things to do in life than ruining a fishes day for my personal entertainment.

I would rather see a report about killing three big wsb compared to posting a report about catching and releasing ten wsb

There are other reasons why posting on the internet is harmful which apply to this thread, but there is nothing we can do about that.

So why did you put the post up Wade? Do you think is was harmful or beneficial to the public?

I thought the general public would like to read some information written by researchers at PIER on the topic of WSB and CNR.
