I agree with you guys that a good portion of tournament fish probably don't survive. It's really up to each fisherman to regulate themselves to some degree based on their proficiency with Livescope. Me, being a local here on Lake Nimrod, I choose to release most of my 1 3/4 lb+ fish. Especially if I can clean a good mess of 1 pounders. Is this a good management of the crappie fishing, I'm not sure.
