Is there any documented negative effect if the fish are caught off the nest and immediately returned? I stood over a 1.5 lb SM on the bed in a creek yesterday, eventually caught him and returned him immediately. He was still locked down the on the nest as I waded back by on my way back to the truck 1-2 hrs later. Dont see why we shouldnt be allowed to catch em, but I wouldnt mind a 100% catch and release may for all black bass.
