Not the best time for this to hit the news.

then why continue to circulate it?

truth is, some fish that are released just don't survive, even the ones that swim off looking lively sometimes die.

and yes, black sea bass are still threatened. If we were to start taking them again they would disappear in a matter of minutes.

im sure the angler did the best they could to revive the animal,
