Agree with Mark on this. Personally, I don't see how anyone can promote catch and release, but want to target fish on the nest. Let them spawn and produce more fish. The studies that I have seen on catching bedding bass is that they will not guard the nest as aggressively as before they were caught and some move off the nest altogether. If you remove them from the area, they do not return: all the spawn are then gone.
