I was wondering what people do with native bleeders they catch. Do you keep them or put them back and pray for the best. I don't think letting one go is an option yet on some rivers you have to. I watched a native summer run turn belly up in the shallows I picked it up and it had a hook in its tongue and a large blood clot in its throat. Just finding this fish made me sick I don't know what I would do if I had landed that fish. So far all my bleeders have been hatchery fish so I just bonked them. Also those in favor of state wide CnR how do you feel about this issue now and under state wide CnR.
