Not saying they will all die but a mouth full of trebels, hooks in the gills, swallowed hooks from live lining, and the fact that a good portion of these fish will be mis handled and out of the water for a while when unlocking.
Im sure most will not survive so in turn all we did was injured big pregnant fish.

No live bait and single hooks may help. Also no fishing while spawning. Then you wouldn't have to reduce the limits.
