Don't know much about the technology, wondering why it would lead to increased mortality?
Pulling fish from 20-40 feet of water in hot water. Normally these fish were untouched until they came up shallow in July, if at all. Now people with no actual fishing skill can hover over a fish harassing it for hours until it bites. Like said above, there was an abnormally large amount of dead fish in June and July this year. This was a direct result of this type of fishing.
Don't forget that it was about the warmest June ever, surface layer was 20'+ when it's typically 10'. I'd never target fish more than 15' down, but let's hope some just got confused this year with the unusually warm water, and deeper fish. If the barotrauma doesn't get 'em, the thermal shock sure isn't good for them either.
You can see your bait and the fish you're targeting with Live, let's leave the deep ones alone!
