I think the increase in pressure and killing the big trout has allot to do with the lack of 9 and 10 lb trout. A 10 lb trout is 9 years old, its hard to grow to 9 years of age with a fill the cooler to the top for photos and freezer meat mentality. And most of Bruce's clients release the large trophys fish to fight another day. I fished with him year before last and released an 8lber. I still haven't joined the 10lber 30 inch club but one day.
