Felf said:oh and about using live bait? it's better to use live bait, that way we minimize the amount of foreign objects such as plastic lures that will remain there even after we leave this earth; it may be cruel but in the long run it's better.
Not necessarily. I lose very, very few lures over the course of a decade, and for a C&R man like myself, lures are far better than live, as fish tend to be hooked through the lip with lures, but swallow live/real bait right down to their stomach, making a live release nearly impossible (and greatly increasing the mortality rates on those that can be released alive).
