Not killing Big Trout is more of a respect thing! Kind of like the guys who let the 8point buck walk to get the 12point

I do not like to eat a trout over 4 or 5 lbs....I prefer the 12-16inch ones

I try to tag big trout so i can see what there pattern is when they get caught again! Its cool and fun hobby for me
I wouldn't keep anything over 4 except to get mounted, but have no problem with someone keeping whatever they want. Saw a 6.5 last weekend go home to the fillet knife, didn't bother me one bit. There is no shortage of fish, I also prefer the smaller fish. And from being used to fishing in southeast La am used to the 12" fish
