    Trauma is a general term for injury. This is why a psychological trauma is called that. It’s as nonspecific as it gets.

      It also means the mental distress from an injury, which is the psychological sense. So while they’ll get physical trauma (probably minor for most catch and release), it’s debatable how much fish can feel psychological trauma.

      The post I responded to seemed to be talking about psychological trauma, hence my comment.
