I am quite sure that i read a request from Fish and Game over the past years to NOT release any of the flats one caught in the Neuse. Called the introduction into the Yadkin , one of the worst decisions for native fish ever.
I would be curious to see something from them to see what they do with them.
Unless of course Mack, you can tell me this is "the word".
Thanks.

Biologists for the WRC and Inland Fisheries have practically begged that they not be released when caught.
If my recollections serve me well today, the WRC has not asked anything. Inland Fisheries has. Do not release for the Cape Fear and Neuse rivers.

they only kill them where they are new to the watershed.....in a place where they have been for years they know they would get grief from anglers and they also know they are wasting there time to kill the few they shock up.
click on the second picture and this was a quote from them
"The fish collected during the fish-sampling work on the Neuse River were identified by species, measured, weighed, allowed to recover in an onboard holding tank, and then released back into the Neuse River"
so I guess this is the "word"

Thanks. Are they putting their hands in the fish's gills to hold them?

You can pick them up by the gill flaps and it won't hurt them.

Looks like I am gonna have to head back down there....My 2favorite places to catfish are the Dan and the neuse near where they are at....I quit going down there after the fish kill 3 or 4 years ago.....looks like it is time to head back. used to go 10-15 times a season down there and in 2000 I actually spent at least 30 days down there(was laid off for 4 mos july-nov) and wore them out then. after the hurricane bait got hard to catch...

I believed this about myself, until you posted this. It appears we're a two-man club.

You can have a Facebook with a made up name or with your name and not participate. It will however give you access to what is there.
Heck, my 78 year old dad has a Facebook account but he doesn't participate on Facebook.

I've survived without it until now. I'll remain "faceless"......
