[QUOTE="v193, post: 301217, member: 751"] Just a question with the AIM format and the Catch and Release aspect. Is there a rule, or should there be a rule, that fishing must be done within a certain depth? Recently I know fish have been coming out of some deeper water. With the survival rate of a fish caught deep being very low and the numbers of fish caught during an AIM event. How many fish are sent back to the depths dead? I know it would be hard to enforce but for the sake of the resource should this be happening, or is it happening? I know that the regular weekend warrior gets slammed for keeping "too big of fish" but how many people fish deep or late in the year and kill literally hundreds of fish especially during tournaments?? When I fish deep if its 13" or 26" it goes in the box and after 5 I'm done and get back with 5 dead fish in the livewell. Just looking for peoples opinions on the subject? There is an AIM event coming up in July out of Parshall and I would bet a good deep bite is going to yield a TON of dead fish on the Sakakawea floor. [/QUOTE]
