Interesting post. As has been said I'm sure not all the fish I have caught and released over the years lived. However I also don't see the dead fish belly up that are suggested by this study. But then I don't see the ones that belly up after having spawned either. I would be curious the methodology used to evaluate the numbers of fish that died after release. I for one have a hard time seeing the fish 10 feet after release let alone following it for 12+ hours. The points on proper handling in the article I think were wonderful though.
