Killing the bass right now!
jeremy
I believe this first-responder was merely implying that he is catching a lot of bass right now, not literally killing them.
I didn't respond the way I did because of this post. I understood what he meant.
Thanks for the links THA4.
Here is an interesting one I found. Temp and DO is stressed, just like a lot of other publications. However, again everything is related to tournaments. Is there anything out there that is just catch and release?
Here is the link.

Page 5, 6, and 27 are ones I took note of.
Gene makes mention that fish more acclimated to warmer water can handle higher water temps, and those that are acclimated to cooler temps cannot handle temps nearly as high. So theoretically could this pose a problem in the midwestern states when we hit an extreme heat wave like we did here? Is it a fair statement that midwestern bass cannot tolerate as warm of water in the midwest as the fish in the south? That's How I read it. So I am not so sure it is safe to say it is ok to angle bass in the south with 90° temps (I just chose a temp) and therefore it is safe in the midwest at the same temp (although we may never reach that).

Location: Not where I wanna be! | Tournaments are the extreme end of the spectrum therefore what you find about them should adequately represent the same questions regarding simple catch and release.
Justin made a fine point:
"in our farm pond the LM bass are in 9" of water right now with surface temps over 85 (its bath water).....they thrive in "hot" water. LM Bass are pretty hard to kill. No scentific study need in a 2 acre pond - you could see the fish if they died after catching." |

Well then why in the world would you take off in an entirely other direction, completely unrelated to what the man was asking about? Why not start a new post about bass mortality in summer? Isn't there a BassFIRST web site?
You jumped into a hole ... and have simply dug deeper and deeper by going into more and more minutia about the mortality of bass fishing in mid-summer. Trying to blind us a little with science?
That dog just wont' hunt.

CiscoKid,
Well then why in the world would you take off in an entirely other direction, completely unrelated to what the man was asking about? Why not start a new post about bass mortality in summer if you needed the attention? Isn't there a BassFIRST web site?

I brought it up to simply raise awareness that just because it isn't safe to target muskies doesn't mean every other fish swimming out there is ok to target. No body thinks twice about the "other" fish. Again we expect and want everyone to care for muskies, but it's ok for us to give a crap about the fish others pursue?
THA4, you can also find muskies swimming in 85° water. As long as the fish are not stressed and they have enough DO then they are fine. It is the angling part that adds the stress that then becomes a problem with any fish in warm water. So now take some water that may just have enough DO for the fish to be ok (again 5 ppm is lower limit) and catch them, and release them back in that water. 5 ppm is the lower limit while not stressed. Once stressed the fish require more oxygen to recoup. You are now putting a fish back into an environment that doesn't have sufficient oxygen for them.
I also grew up near a pond that we fished quite a bit. We killed some fish. They don't always float, and don't always die where you can see them. We usually found them while diving in deep water, and being freaked out by the "fuzzy stick" at the bottom of the pond. Of course as a kid we had to grab it and find out what is was, and thus found our dead fish we would have otherwise not known were there. |
