truth is, some fish that are released just don't survive, even the ones that swim off looking lively sometimes die.

and yes, black sea bass are still threatened. If we were to start taking them again they would disappear in a matter of minutes.

im sure the angler did the best they could to revive the animal,

Why continue to circulate it? As a community fighting closures I think we should be aware. The Tribune is a liberally slanted paper that I will no longer subscribe to, but will read at work to read between the lines. Read their take on the seals in the childrens pool. (Everybody wants the seals except for a few neanderthals.) Although this IS mostly a neutral article ( I don't see that the reserve needed to be mentioned ) other than the fact that those knuckleheads speared one in the reserve in recent past history and I believe they are connecting a line between the two. The BSB should stay on the "No Take List" but are doing very well if the video of them in La Jolla I viewed is authentic. I think we all do our best to make sure these fish make it safely back home home. Why continue to circulate it? because it was also on the evening news and I think we need to be aware as a community defending our fishing grounds because you can bet the other side is certainly already to cite this case when they need it.
