Let me ask you anti-tx guys a question. Do you where one of the best places on a lake that holds lots of tx is to fish ? I can tell you from experience that its the marina where most tx on that lake are held. Merely go to the first piece of sizable structure near that marina and you'll find it loaded with catchable bass. If these super high mortality rates were true, this would not be the case. I've tournaments won in these places too.
