[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5827764, member: 2805"] Stocker trout are 'put and take'. in many areas, they won't even survive past May. They are expendable. And thats why TWRA publishes the stocking dates, closes it for that day, then opens up the rodeo the following morning. Makes folks feel great they can catch their own dinner with a box of worms or kernel corn. That being said, what you observed is correct. Someone taking multiple limits is abhorrent, and those folks should be reported. Likewise releasing gut hooked fish is also abhorrent. Those folks are literally stealing those mealy tasting dog food flavored (as I've never eaten a dog turd as WTM thinks they taste :) ) Now Mid Tn Fisher... lemme tell you, when I get on a redfish bite, I'm going to catch every dang one of them until they stop biting, move on, or it gets dark. But redfish and trout are totally different animals. Release survival of redfish caught on artificials approaches 100%. They are some tough critters. The only ones you have to take any care to revive are the big bulls caught in summer. But specks are much more fragile, and have around a 25% average mortality rate after release.... much higher when fishing around dolphins. You have to really care for specks to get less than a 10% mortality rate. [/QUOTE]
