MAJOR LEAGUE FISHING™, a joint venture between Outdoor Channel and 24 of the world's top anglers, announced today that it will employ a catch and immediate release program as part of the event format.

After the official has recorded the weight into a wireless electronic database, the fish will be immediately returned to the water.
"The anglers love this concept. We more...
