that is one question,
the other one is, why arent anglers willing to harvest a gullet hooket fish?
it is
to say that greed can affect any one at any time. I have seen a couple times after a tourny dead bass laying lifelessly on sand bars or dead/crippled floating after an event.
it is posible to kill a bass just as easy with crank baits or soft plastics or spoons as it is with live bait. I know not every one dose this, but there are those few who let greed get the best of them exchanging a fresh live bigger fish for a dead one where it would cost them points at weight in if not compleatly didqualified all together..
the only thing a dead bass helps is to feed turtles and mudpuppies, "truth is turtles and mudpuppies dont need any ones help to feed on fish, thay are quite capable to catch thier own dinners. What I mean is, this behavour makes about as much sence as going out and shooting buffalow and then leaving them laying there to rot.
I agree there is deffenantly room for improvement in the sport, including gills and every other species.
Ya, if I catch a gill by the gullet then with out a doubt he has to go in to my creel as part of my daily harvest...
