Didn't think about that.
Some of the fish had what looked like clean knife cuts ... Some had fins beat up on their side and a couple really looked bad with what looked like clean shaved spots the size of a silver dollar missing.

I don't know if this makes a difference or not but I get OCD about noise sometimes. I turn off my electronics to stop the sonar pings in the water. I try to use my TM least a possible and make minimal impact/sound to the hull of the boat. I already have to deal with a lot of wave slap being in a tin rig so I do what I can to minimize sound. Sometimes I net my trout instead of boat flipping them so I don't have them beating and banging in the bottom of the boat and can reach in grab them.
I do the same when bass fish sometimes. Especially when night fishing and things have quitened down on the lake. If ever you jump in the water at Toledo Bend and get under your boat you would be surprised at how much ping noise 2 electronics running can emit.
