It is like Laker fishing in Canada. I know BEYOND a DOUBT they will not survive being pulled from 90 ft of water to the surface. They are usually dead when they get up to the top. There is a 2 fish limit, and when I'm laker fishing, I'm NEVER just fishing.......I'm food fishing, and once I have my limit........I'm DONE.

Take this how you want......I'm not judging you, but I'd personally NOT fish during times I know what I'm pursuing will die.
