I guess IMO, if one is concerned about good C&R, (and many of us should be) fish the high country during the heatwaves or go for warmwater species.[/quote]
couldn't this same logic be applied to other circumstances? For instance, what about bass anglers that catch bass in colder months from deep water? This causes problems for those bass because they have a swim bladder that expands when pulled rapidly from deep water, and cause the bass to have problems. So, in the minds of many bass anglers, the solution is to "fizz" the bass and then send them back on their way to the depths (after puncturing the fish with hypodermic needle).
Maybe, like you suggested above ("fish the high country during heat waves...") these anglers should change their tactics and fish for some other species, or fish a different location and leave those "vulnerable" fish alone?
This same situation could be applied to perch as well.
