5 Yr Research SHOWS Exactly Where TOURNAMENT BASS Go After Being Released

[snagged in outlet 3]

Oh @fishinwrench

[fishinwrench]

Already had a debate about that video on FB.    Nobody cares that all the keeper sized fish are being relocated to the weigh-in areas, so there's no hope in expecting anglers to stop doing it.   

That's ok, because I think that participation in tournaments is going to take a huge nosedive within the next year or two.  They pretty much shot themselves in the foot with forward facing sonar.  They don't know it yet, but I can see it coming.  Guys are going to get tired of fishing like that after a bit.    The old school guys like me are not gonna keep being ok with getting their @$$ handed to them, time after time, by these high school aged video game masters.   They'll go find something else to do.

Did you watch  Randy's rant on it?

Oh yeah.   He isn't the only one ranting either.  He is just the only one not afraid to rant publicly.   

All of the other "Pro's" are afraid to take a stance, or make any kind of "controversial statement" about ANYTHING.   They are too worried about their image...... Because when they aren't finishing in the top 10 their IMAGE, and the court of public opinion, is all they have got to carry them through.      You won't even see/hear another pro admit that he somewhat agrees with Randy.....but you know darn well they do.  I hear it multiple times, daily.    

Anytime they are concerned about being "quoted" they pretend to be....just tired of hearing about it.    The fake phoneyness has sadly become an epidemic in the fishing community.   If they aren't getting the proper amount of THUMBS-UP on their Facebook feeds then they really begin to panic. 😅

Is the video based on a document?

The title says "5 years Research"; research almost always is documented and peer reviewed. When I opened the thread I see a link to a movie; movies are almost always written, rehearsed,  filmed, cut and spliced crap from the imagination. It's like watching TV, meaningless unless it puts you to sleep.

If research is/was/might someday be involved, I'd like to see it, not some sales slant or PR spin.

If you were paying attention you would have heard him report that the more injured/stressed a fish was, the longer it remained in the bay.    

Well YEAH it did....and it doesn't take a very smart person to figure out why.   Dead fish don't swim very good.   Duh!  😅

Several studies were sited..  I guess when you have time you could watch it.  You're probably real busy.

I didn't "pay attention"  because I don't know where the research is, a movie is for entertainment only and not anything one should "pay attention" to.

If I have trouble sleeping maybe. Not busy at all,  but if I watch a movie I need popcorn and a pillow.
