I have heard anglers say that fishing is being ruined..that technology, charters, tournaments and simply fishing pressure is negatively impacting the sport of fishing for generations to come.
I mean what if you went to go fishing one day…and there was no fish to be caught? What if our fish populations were gone? One might say this is the greatest fear a fisherman could have… but what does science say?
This 1 study may completely change the way you think about fishing and the impact it is having on our fisheries.
Since I started competitively bass fishing nearly 20 years ago…I have heard that same sentiment time and time again. “You’re killing our lakes”...and when you look into studies that have been done on Bass Tournament Mortality you’d be shocked to find that it has been documented that delayed mortality can be as high as 68%,! Now, while that was an extreme outlier, many other studies have shown that about 25-30% of tournament retained bass die shortly after being released.
Now this obviously makes a lot of recreational anglers mad at tournament anglers….BUT..…you also go to the lake and occasionally see recreational anglers intentionally harvesting bass for the dinner table, in which case 100% die. ANNNDD if you are simply a catch, weigh, release angler..you are NOT off the hook. Another study conducted in Texas specifically on catch and release bass showed 22% of the bas s caught and released died within 72 Hours due to a number of factors like being hooked deeply and mishandling of the fish. Mix in social media and you now have a brotherhood of fisherman that are simply divided…
But at the end of the day…no matter what side of the fence you think you’re on…nobody wants to see our fisheries go to trash…so as anglers we should be asking the question….are we actually killing our lakes?
That's the question I was asking myself…so…a few weeks ago I decided to do a deep dive, I started scouring internet databases for scientific papers, I talked to different fisheries biologist to hear their input, and I found 4 different studies that were done in Minnesota, Connecticut and TEXAS that spoke about the impact anglers had on a bass population.
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

A lake is way more complicated than studies of a single species. However, it is my experience that people care less about the natural aquatic environment if there is a lack of sport species in that environment. Fishing for sport and recreation vastly improve our waterways, lakes, and ponds.

Why doesn't Ohio DNR stock Largemouth or Smallmouth bass in lakes. They will stock saugeye, which dont reproduce, as well as Muskie but I have yet to hear of them stocking Largemouth or Smallmouth in lakes. There are tournaments on our lakes targeting these every weekend but you never hear of Saugeye, Muskie, Crappie or other species being targeted in tournaments. It would seem to me that if the mortality of LMB is as bad as you say then they should be stocking to replenish the stock. I think they should also limit tournaments during the spawn. Portage and Mosquito might be properly managed but Caeser's Creek lake in my area of Ohio is also known as "The Dead Sea".

@gregc7314 6 месяцев назад

One issue not addressed and has been studied is that of bass catchability. Some bass are just not suspectable to being caught. And these traits are passed down to their offspring. By killing catchable bass in one way or another, uncatchable bass populations increase. One of these studies was done with two ponds. All the fish caught were tagged. They drained the ponds, put all the bass that had been caught in one and the bass that were never caught in another. Guess which one pond was impossible to catch bass in? Here in Souther California, our lakes have been subjected tremendous pressure for decades. There are some organized tournaments (not clubs) with some very good fisherman where the entire field blanks. That never happened 20 years ago.

Talked to a local (NE Oklahoma) fisheries biologists a while back about Crappie. He mentioned that holding a larger Crappie by the jaw and then trying to crank it up level....without supporting the body with other hand, normally will break its jaw or at least dislocate it. Fish can no longer feed properly and probably die. Same was basically true for Bass. If you wanted that photo op....hold it hanging straight down or support with both hands.

@expomm 5 месяцев назад

True, in Switzerland is forbidden to grab the fish by jaw or mandíbula, if u do, that fish will die after release, more education is needed. Also grabbing the fish with wet bare hands is enforced, this preserves the slime on the skin that protects the fish from infections.

The ned rig is the worst and I’ve caught so many “helmet head” small largemouth that have had their jaw reconstructed from a 5/0 flipping hook. the slack line hookset some of these guys throw with braid they dam near rip the head off of little guys. They feel a nibble and they load up for the strongest hook set they can. Requiring barbless hooks would somewhat help.

When everybody wises up and uses the layout we use in kayak tournaments, mortality will be NEAR ZERO PERCENT!!! We use Tourney X (as do several pro circuits like MLF) to record the gps location of the photo taken with the fish on a certified, official rule board, time and date of photo, and best of all, the photo MUST BE ACCEPTED by non-competitor judges who cerify the fish was measured correctly, that the identification number for the event is correct, and most importantly, that the fish appears 100% alive. They may even ask for extra photos if there is any question, so we take three or four of each fish, and release them IMMEDIATELY where they were caught! Not removed from their beds and hauled 80 miles down the lake in a small box with four other terrified bass, bumping and banging in the ride of their life, literally. Wise up people!!!!! We are beyond having to have weigh-ins! We should at LEAST consider only bringing our largest fish in, because TourneyX automatically tallies our 5 longest for the day.

Especially when they go for a weekend with their family and relatives and 5+ kids and pull in limits for every person and kid they have each day they are there.

While a 38% figure may sound high, it's hard to judge without at least an estimation of the TOTAL population of fish. Legal in this case would be a 14 inch plus fish. As long as the juvenile population can sustain fishing, there is hope in deed that my kids and grandkids will enjoy fishing for many years to come!

A big problem is that many anglers use too light of line especially those who use monofilament and when that big one bites they break off and that fish has a high mortality rate. This takes a lot of trophy type bass right out the fishery.

@maxcole3930 6 месяцев назад

Very interesting! Obviously every lake, habitat, species, populations are different. I'm sure the smaller the lake the harder it is on it. I've found a small lake that has some amazing largmouth in it, & it doesn't have a ton of pressure at all. It's full 4-8lb bass. I've caught a 8.6 a 9.3 & my current PB an 11.4 this summer. I've also seen a guy with a 13 lber which was the biggest largmouth I've ever seen in person. It fishes very tough though. Spend lots of days getting only a couple bites to getting skunked. But I finally think I started figuring out how to key in on the bigs there. They are big smart bass for sure, not easy to catch

Comparing my bass population to Sam Rayburns(my pond is about 90 miles away) is at least triple that of Rayburn's? That doesn't make sense to me? Maybe there is a study on that? Also we rotetononed a acre pond back in the 1970's. It brought back memories when you mentioned it. Thanks for the information.

I'd like to see a video along these same lines but having to do with the chemical contamination of the bass in a given lake. I ask because here in Arizona, some of our fisheries are so contaminated with mercury that our Arizona Game and Fish department has a dedicated webpage they call their, "Fish Consumption Advisory." That page lists the bodies of water and the types of fish and the amounts of those fish that one should or shouldn't consume. I'm sure Arizona isn't the only state with this kind of pollution in the water that affects the fish themselves, it also affects those who consume them. Other states must have similar problems.

Unfortunately I think if you want bass to catch in the future it's going to take a lot more hatcheries and stocking. It doesn't seem like the population can stand up to the pressure. But the economy is dependent on the fish, and fish are important to the ecosystem. So the only solution I can think of is stocking fish.

@tommyrq180 5 месяцев назад

Where I fish in Lake Michigan I am convinced that a significant percentage game fish of various types are born and die naturally without seeing a lure or bait (mainly talking smallmouth, northern pike, walleye, and lake trout). Since the decline of gill netting that threat has diminished, too-that was seriously destructive and remains so for, say Pacific steelhead and salmon. For example, nobody used to fish for smallmouth. Now they are under intense pressure. Where I fish, certain types of smallmouth with shallow water habits have come under noticeable pressure that definitely affected their numbers and behavior. Lake Michigan is very clear so fisherman can sight fish for these shallow water smallmouth. But meanwhile, smallmouth who mainly suspend and follow deep water gobies or alewives or other baitfish (or only feed at night) can do that without seeing a lure. Smallmouth have also been known to spawn in deeper water on reefs that elude visual bed fishermen. In my view, it is the pressure on particularly easy game fish that I think you are seeing. In smaller rivers or lakes fisherman can definitely “fish them out” or significantly affect fishing, often driving the game fish to feed at night, another habit that avoids pressure. But in larger lakes and rivers the fish have a lot of choices and can avoid fishing pressure and still thrive. It’s just harder to find them-and harder for fisheries biologists to find them too. These are just my theories as I’ve spend a lot of time pursuing these “other” fish groups and I think we have a lot to learn about them. Pro fishermen tend to be on the leading edge and have proven that many fish even in very hard-fished lakes and river systems were simply never pressured by local fishermen. But they found them, mostly in so-called “offshore” areas. Do you realize how many offshore areas exist in a body of water like Lake Michigan? Too many to fish. Modern electronics are allowing some of us to find these fish with open water feeding habits and catch them. But in my view they are much harder to catch and find, and should do fine as long as forage remains adequate and relatively safe spawning habitat can be found. Again, just my two cents. 😊

I grew up on a small pond and fished small fisheries my whole life, pay attention during bed season, you will almost always see the same fish on the same spot year for year.

There are many recreational fishermen who catch and release, particularly trout/salmon/steelhead fly fishermen. So to lump them into a 100% kill recreational category is inaccurate at best.

In most counties of Europe, one must attend a lengthy course to obtain the legal right to go fishing. Or hunting. But this is about fishing. Part of this course is proper handling of fish. Be it for C&R and or harvesting. It's something that will be taught and demonstrated on a (dead) fish. This way, everyone that holds the license, has at least once been shown the proper way of holding and landing a fish. Landing nets being mandatory etc. What I've seen on RU-vid countless times is that a lot of US anglers (identified by accent and often dialect) treat their catch in a horrible, uninformed way. Bank or boat flipping on hard surfaces. Dragging across the ground. Bending the lip of bass to a 90⁰ angle and lifting a fish with a rod, driving the hook in way deeper than through hookset alone. Speaking of hookset, wtf is wrong with bass anglers. Have you not seen how torn and messed up some of the fish are? A lot of US anglers don't seem to be concerned by fish welfare at all. Be it through lack of education on the topic or by negligence. Perhaps that's something to think about. Y'all want to continue fishing? Well, then treat fish better.

In the south you should also consider that the higher temperatures likely add to stress. Warmer water has less disolved oxygen typically and that will add to the stress.

So, we have 2 of the studies say that tournament fishing and catch and release fishing was only causing a loss of 1% to 3% a year and was considered negligible. Where as the ones who catch and eat the limit would have a higher impact on the lakes fish. Especially when they go for a weekend with their family and relatives and 5+ kids and pull in limits for every person and kid they have there, each day they are there. And you see 20 other "families" doing the same thing that weekend. This seems to be almost every weekend fishing is possible.

lake Erie a phenomenal fishery .walleyes, bass ,perch, receive huge pressure. We have not seen a difference.

@guitarhiker4449 Месяц назад

Those numbers of bass caught by tournament anglers will now sky rocket with FFS (Forward Facing Sonar). I may be wrong but the more readily available this technology becomes the more it will effect fish populations that never ever see a lure. I also agree areas with weigh in stations do hold many of those fish let go for quite awhile and in my fishing experience a portion of those fish get caught afterwards by folks that keep them. Although this has cause some bass leagues to bring those fish back out into the lake away from the boat ramps where they are safer. Still as the saying goes their is plenty of fish in the sea/lake! Lol... You did your homework! Very interesting and eye opening video!! Fish on!!

Here in NJ... One of the biggest lakes in the Southern portion of the state is only 865 Acres. Almost Half of what is considered a "small body of water" The amount of local clubs here. These places get heavily pressured. They have tournaments all summer then tournaments in the winter until the lakes freeze. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if the amount of tournaments and fishing on these lakes have an impact. I've literally seen some of the best places become almost unfishable with the amount of pressure these lakes get.

@BeetleBuns 27 дней назад

there are some REALLY good lakes in nj, you just need to find the ones that don't allow powered boats. I caught my biggest bass ever in one of them

@j.s.3297 Месяц назад

Good video👍...those 30 -40% catch rates are much higher than I expected and it's a significant amount. The problem where I live where lakes can be 30 acres to several hundred acres is poaching and illegal harvest..many good lakes have been diminished because of it.

@buffyjosmom 5 месяцев назад

I'd like to see something like this study done on Blue, Flathead & Channel catfish. They are my main target when I go fishing and are the most targetted when it comes to people fishing for fish fries and they also hold catfish tournaments as well as well as pay lakes paying commercial fisherman to come and catch cats to stock their pay lakes.

@theman21030 6 месяцев назад

In my area they have tournaments constantly that bring all the bass back to the ramp . The fisherman cheat so they can’t trust each other to catch and release on the spot .

@thegreendank1 4 дня назад

I remember as a kid fishing worm and bobber I'd almost exclusively gut hook fish, now that i fish lure, mostly single hook big lures like jigs and texas rigs, i can't remember the last time i gut hooked a fish. And the only fish I've seen go belly up are pickerel. Those things will give there all to get off that hook.

@ericdurst9715 9 дней назад

I'm from Texas and I do catch and release on bass. I fish mostly rivers and definitely see smaller than average on bass. If the pro bass tournaments would get weights, lengths and measurements with a camera would help bass grow bigger and better each year. If you see how tournaments like sharkathon in Texas you'll understand how they get the population of fish in saltwater.

@theman4884 2 часа назад

I take it just the opposite. 38% of all fish in the lake being caught over the course of the year seems huge.

@sertorius5839 6 месяцев назад

Very interesting video…thanks so much!! I fish Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas and I would imagine with less tournament and overall pressure than Sam Rayburn PK has less a percentage than that caught…anyway…if you are catching and releasing I recommend going barbless and if you are harvesting bass I would only harvest those between 9-14 inches…those are plenty big enough to eat and are the best tasting. We have our lengths all messed up here…you should not be allowed to keep a bass over 16 inches…they aren’t that good to eat when they are that size or bigger and those are your spawning fish….the keeping size should be 9-14 maybe 9-15 inches anything smaller or bigger must go back…if you catch a trophy..great…take a pic…and put it back…and fish barbless…yea..you don’t boat as many but sure is easier on the fish. Just my 2 cents…

@kennedy98796 3 месяца назад

i fish sam rayburn and there are more tournaments in a yr then you can count , almost every weekend there is a tournament somewhere

@11thDC 3 дня назад

Another thing to consider, is of that 1/3 of the fish caught. it doesn't account for potential repeat catches. So it is very likely even less than 1/3 is actually being "caught" there's just no way to track that unless every single tagged fish was being identified every time.

@kylemayer8486 6 месяцев назад

As a St. Clair native, I've never seen fish in as rough of shape as this year. All those sores you see are mostly from banging around livewells all day.

@stevecox6104 Месяц назад

It is the heat. Colder water and air temps may allow northern bass to recover easier and survive in the livewell all day.

@BOOTEDUPFLORIDAOUTDOORS 5 месяцев назад

I’d like to see some stats on the Harris chain, headwaters/stick marsh, and lake O down here in Florida. Great video, in my opinion I believe states should make maximum weight requirements for people who want to eat bass. Nobody should be removing a bass over 5 pounds to eat. 1-2 pounders are the best eating anyways from what I’ve heard. I’m in some Florida bass fishing Facebook groups and a surprising number of folks post pictures of trophies on dinner tables

@ballzybaits4414 6 месяцев назад

Our lakes are the opposite. Our fish use to catch 7-10lbs Spots. Average bags 20 years ago were 17lbs. Now, a winning bag is 8.6lbs. haha.

@expomm 5 месяцев назад

In Switzerland is forbidden to grab the fish by their mouth, this dislocates the mandíbula and the fish will die after release. Also forbidden to hold the fish with gloves, this removes the slime of the fish that prevents infections, more education is needed and also impose veto seasons to allow the fish to replenish.

@Bluhcops 5 месяцев назад

I recently went to a hike in lake that I used to go to as a child and found that the lake is fished out. We always only ever kept 1 or 2 when we would fish there and there was fish every year up to 3 lbs. I hadn't gone up to the lake for about 10 years and this year there is legitimatally no fish. It's sad to see.

@ykonratev 3 месяца назад

@@ykonratev because the lake is tiny. 20 feet deep max at parts.

@jeremystanton382 5 дней назад

My state is very protective of bass as far as creel and size limits due to how big of a draw they are. I can spend all night out on the lake in the kayak catfishing, usually I'm one of very few out there because I go in the middle of the week. What does an unnaturally high population of bass do? It's eerie out there these days. The silence is so weird. 9 out of 10 nights you don't hear a single bullfrog. They're just gone. We don't have Pike, very few lakes have muskie and those would be the 3 major species preying on adult bullfrogs. You don't see frogs and you don't hear frogs.

@garageworker 5 месяцев назад

AnglingBuzz just had a great video on ice fishing for crappie. If you hook them at 40ft and pull them up, they have a very high mortality rate. Better to keep them for dinner and limit out, then catch and release 40 fish. At least in this one situation.

@Pepe-dq2ib 5 месяцев назад

I catch and release in spring, summer and fall, but keep fish during winter in ice fishing. Its when the least amount of fishing goes on in my state.

@toddlester8063 6 месяцев назад

These studies are very encouraging, but I have to believe the data came mostly pre-livescope. Now that everyone can target previously unfindable offshore fish, I wonder how it will change things for the future. Maybe wont change at all, just worth thinking about.

@brandonadams6743 27 дней назад

Different fish species have been spread across the country for recreational fishing including bass you can look into it and see the true native ranges

@future_me_6067 6 месяцев назад

Something to be added to the "tournament angler" is that they have culled to retain only the largest and those are the ones at the highest risk. The guy that is going to eat the fish, keeps all but is not focused on a high weight to compete with peers and the chances of that dinner table fisherman going all over an entire lake to grab the biggest is pretty slim. I am in the 100% catch and release category.

@tonyvieson9194 6 месяцев назад

As important as this information is. I think there are some other things to consider as well. I can't speak for these lakes, but the lakes in my area deal with somethings that I'm sure also effect the numbers. One of the largest is flood control lakes and lake turn over. We had a major one here on a lake that's minutes from my home. There was barely an inch of bank that didn't have dead fish of all species on it. We also have lakes that aren't very deep and are sprayed every so often to kill grass off for a lot of reasons. That is forge and hiding habitat for a lot of species which BASS need for growth and survival. Some BASS may die shortly after being caught or release due to being weak from mal nourishment. The old, final nail in the coffin if you will. Another consideration is lake stocking. BASS aren't always at the top of the food chain and some species that are added will eat BASS and BASS are cannibals' and will eat each other as well. I think BASS death and survival is more connected to the body of water versus specific human intervention. We have lakes around here that get a lot of pressure and still produce very good BASS fishing. While others get a lot of attention, regular stocking, even very water specific slot limits. Yet despite that has some of the worst BASS fishing despite stricter harvest rules and less pressure.

@fastmattmattmatt 5 месяцев назад

The launches by us have 100’s of trophy size bass floating after tournaments because they were bounced around in a livewell all day. Tournaments need to all be catch and immediate release if they want to see the lakes thrive and true trophy sizes become available.

@mikelembke5121 6 месяцев назад

A study was done on fish mortality by Minnesota,Texas and Connecticut and in Minnesota and Connecticut the mortality rate of tournaments were 1-5 percent, recreational fisherman up to 35 percent and meat eaters 100 percent, Texas on Sam Rayburn the fish numbers were 400,500 fish and tournament mortality was up to 5 percent and meat eaters 100 percent, 5 -15 percent of fish gut hooked by people who don't know what to do release fish after tearing the hook out, fish normally dissolve most hooks within 3-4 days, number of tournaments at Rayburn 300-600 boats per tournament and 300 tournaments a year😢 the other states had 150-300 boats
