Big Trout Discussion

if catching small trout, stay there keep them for eating. Then go on a search for the big one.

Large trout are only good for mounting or releasing, and now days you can do replica mounts, so I'd release them all.... IMO.....

And for me, its gotta be 8+ before I put it on a wall. I'm still searching....

Large trout are carniverous, meaning they will eat small trout. Big trout are spooked much easier, so if someone's already in your hole, and you're looking for big ones, I'd suggest moving on as they likely scared the big ones off.
