    Last year there was an episode where James had said something to the affect of “we thought fatalities were low when releasing fish at a depth of (X), but the data is showing release rate deaths are much higher than we thought.” I’m paraphrasing with that, but just wondering if there is any data you have available to show us which depths are showing higher number(s) of fatalities on catch and release with crappies, perch, bluegill etc.

    I think the number started around 25 instead of the usual 30, but lots of factors like o2 and temperature.
