Angling can adversely affect populations of bluegill Lepomis macrochirus. and many state agencies have begun to explore restrictive creel and length limits. The fate of released fish can be influenced by a variety of factors. and the Success of regulations Could be reduced if the mortality of released bluegills is high. We conducted experiments using bluegills caught by the general angling public in Ridge Lake, Illinois, to quantify bluegill hooking mortality and test for the effects of bait type (live versus artificial), season (spring versus summer). retention time in live wells (1, 3, or 5 h). and retention gears (live wells versus fish baskets). Across all seasons and baits, the mortality of caught-and-released bluegills was 101,v the initial and short-term mortality for fish immediately released was, 4.4%. There were significant differences in hooking mortality with respect to bait type. retention gear, and retention time. Bluegills caught Oil live bait experienced higher mortality (6.6%) than those caught on artificial baits (0%). and wire fish baskets caused higher mortality (34.0%) than live wells (7.6%). The mortality of bluegills held in live wells was higher for the 3- and 5-h retention times than for the I-It treatment. The probability of dying from catch and release decreased with increasing fish length. We applied Our results 10 a bluegill population under it restrictive harvest regulation consisting of a 203-mm minimum size limit and,I 10-fish daily bag limit. Under these restrictive regulations, fish lost front catch and release represented 27.4% of the total kill (harvest and hooking mortality). White catch-and-re lease angling Call Cause some mortality. it does not appear from Our study that releasing fish will have a deleterious effect oil bluegill populations.
