We examined the influence of fight intensity on physiological stress and reflex impairment in largemouth bass during angling events using rod-mounted accelerometers across two temperatures (12 and 22°C). Temperature was the strongest predictor of physiological stress response, while fight intensity was not a strong predictor.
