I think what Roach is trying to say (although I have not read the article) is that it is hard to be preachy about catch and release when you are showing stringer shots of limits of fish necessary to promote the guide business.

I don’t have enough free time to scoop anymore, I just buy alot from Brad when there are alot around, usually 10 dozen at a time. Keep the water fresh and cold in your baitwell and they will last forever.

High water has created bad scoopping conditions for them. so there are few or none to be had, unless you count the 5 dozen in my livewell.
