1 that you know of went belly up, I'm sure there were more that died later on. And yes I did take them back to Lake X and release them, and they swam away just fine, will they die? Maybe, but I guess that doesn't matter I did release them. I will not post those pictures any more, if I do it will be holding one fish up at a time. I didn't know it would upset so many people, this IS a fishing site yes, and that should not be limited to only C&R fishermen/women. Heck I might not even post any pictures any more...people can bust my chops over me catching and keeping 6 legitimate fish but VERY few even said a peep about me getting my PB in CT but I guess that's the way it is.
