For a long time now, "catch-and-release" has been beaten into our heads. And the beating has certainly worked. Speaking only for myself, I release probably 80% of the fish I catch in saltwater, and easily 99% in freshwater. I think most anglers would agree that it feels good to watch a fish swim off strong. But according to this story on Outdoorhub.com, some folks at Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources suggest too much catch and release can do a fishery more harm than good. What they're saying is by not taking some players out the game, you end up with a bunch of small players that may never reach their true size potential. While this article focuses only on Utah, the lesson can be applied anywhere, and I'd be willing to be some of you have even experienced this first hand. What's most shocking are the the numbers; in Utah's study, the drop in the amount of fish kept in just a ten year period is pretty staggering.
