I know that we try to fish in less than 20' for Walleye so they don't get hurt when we release them. Does that mean we are gambling on if this fish will live? Does a big fish have a better breeding chance up a small stream than a smaller one? I'm saddened by the Negativity but it has brought me to some questions? does anyone have some factual based answers? any biologists?

Lake trout can burp themselves and actually do just fine being released after coming up 100 feet ....anyone who has seen a lake trout chase a hook on a flasher can confirm that lake trout can cover 100 FOW in seconds wust hunting.

I was just going to post asking this question does anyone know who or how we can contact about these types of changes?

You dont catch these everyday.

Puking and crapping is all part of the fish burping itself ....does not make it a death sentance.
