A little more information from Blue Fish Canada...

Thanks to Dr. Steven Cooke and his research team we now know that post release bass eventually find their way back to their preferred range. But what about bass caught during tournaments held on rivers – do they return home if it means swimming up stream? At the very least, we now know bass have ample opportunity to move away from a weigh-in site before another tournament is held the following weekend, but that doesn’t guarantee they won’t be pressured by anglers who happen upon recently released bass before they have had sufficient time to clear out. What does all this mean for the way bass fishing tournaments are managed? Link below to read the editorial published in the November 8 2021 issue of the Blue Fish News:
