Wondered what the thoughts and experiences were of others here are re: cold water vs warm water release?

A comment by paumanok and the releasing of bass got me thinking. We as fishermen are careful to release fish withut hurting them if we're not keeping. A certain % do die anyway, that's just the way it is.

I feel that they're more likely to survive when the water is colder, but that's only my experience. Let's hear what you guys have to say.
