Beauty is in the eye of the beholder or as Shaunessy used to say one man's tropy is another man's meat. Personally, I release anything over 24" and I try to do the Florida grouper release where you un-hook them in the water so there is less stress on them. Hopefully some kid will catch them again but I don't have a problem if someone wants to mount a big trout or even eat a big trout. The big ones have to have acquired more pollutants than small fish. To each his own.
