I know this affects some species of fish more than others. Fish that are easily damaged by catching them tend to be of the predatory kind such as pike, perch, trout - especially rainbow trout and grayling.
Amongst the cyprinids, barbel are the more easily damaged, whilst tench, in my opinion are the toughest of the lot.
But let's open the debate. What are the detrimental effects of catch and release?
