Popis:	Determining the prevalence of voluntary catch and release occurring in recreational fisheries for black bass Micropterus spp. is important in selecting and evaluating harvest regulations. Voluntary release rates of black bass have increased in some southern U.S. fisheries, but release rates could vary spatially. We used angler interviews from 245 open-water creel surveys conducted on 167 Minnesota bodies of water during 1984–2006 to determine whether black bass release rates differed among anglers specifically targeting black bass and anglers that were not targeting black bass, among geographic regions within the state, and among time periods. Ranked values of release rate did not significantly differ between anglers targeting black bass and anglers not targeting them for any of the four time periods. Before 1990, median black bass release rates were similar in northern and southern regions of the state and did not exceed 80% in either region. During 1990–1994 and 1995–1999, median release rates ...
