[QUOTE="CatDaddy, post: 393404, member: 755"] Short story: Linders and MN DNR did a study on barotrauma on crappie. They went into the study with the assumption that fish die. Study tainted by bias. Setup of study tainted based on bias. Insert "Livescope will kill fisheries" rhetoric. 78% mortality rate based on how they conducted the study. Wiebe did his own study of crappie caught in 34+ feet and got a zero percent mortality rate as observed by releases viewed on Livescope. I see flaws in his methods as well but it definitely pokes holes in their methods and their potentially flawed message. Obviously the Linders carry some weight when suggesting [U]anything[/U] fishing including mortality rates of barotrauma and he is worried about their message and potential ripple effect. "Trust but verify"....or in my case "Don't trust and verify" [/QUOTE]

Verification

What is the most common fish caught on this site?
