Quote of the Week: Catch and Release
We have been slammed workwise lately but couldn't help sharing this quote from Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah).
“Catch and release is good for world class trout fisheries like the Provo River, but using this philosophy to stop deporting drug offenders, spouse abusers and sexual deviants and putting these illegal aliens back on our streets and in our neighborhoods is simply inexcusable,” Hatch said, explaining why he and Senate colleagues sent the Oct. 20, 2010, letter to Napolitano.
It's rare to see trout fishing and sexual deviants in the same quote...well maybe not so much...

If you must go...go quickly
and if you practice catch and release then get the make sure you get them back in the water quickly as well.
In the journal, “Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A,” researcher Cory Suski suggests that keeping a fish out of water for even 4 minutes might be too long to ensure its survival. Variables include the length of time it takes to land a fish, Suski said. The longer it takes, the harder it is for a fish to recover from even short periods out of water.
Water temperature also determines whether the fish lives or dies. The warmer the water, the longer the recovery, he said. Meanwhile, the fish is easier prey for predators looking for a meal.
