Agree with this! I do the same.

Only one goin on my wall will be a replica of a 9 + That or a good picture is all I really need. She's lived a good life, No reason for her to die by my hands.

My next will have to be a 9 or above....but sorry Drost...ain't going to be no replica!!!

[SaltERedneck]

No replica here either.

[Hopedale Hustler]

fine by me. To each their own.

[Spunt Drag]

Biologist say there is no scientific conservation justification for lowering the limit on BL or setting the limit on trout longer than 26". So if its landed in my boat its life is over.

[fishmaster911]

5+ it lives on ! Just waiting on the one 7-8 to put on the wall !

[SaltERedneck]

I like my filets thin and small... soo between 4-7 lbs is going back in the water. Bass are the same way.

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

I let um all go so the pilgrims and you murderers have something to eat

[Will"E"Fish]

Well you fish with me so I guess you know 4 are better we try to released; unless there hooked to deep.

dang right, with the cost of gas right now, gotta get my money's worth...i guess it would be different if i went 3-4 days a week

[Fishn4Fun]

Never caught any trout over 4, but would release them all, after a pic unless hurt bad.

[Kenner18]

I usually keep all of them because I fish alone alot . If I had someone to take my pic with a big one I would probably let it go . But then again my biggest was just a little over 5.

[speckulator]

hardly ever keep fish over 3lbs to many small ones salt or fresh water

Possum?

[catch_and_release]

I throw all fish I catch back. I like eating them, but I like catching them more. So I let them all go back to fight another day, no matter the size.

I piled up a bunch of trout mounts a year or so ago and burned 'em. Once the new wears off....there ain't much to 'em. The memories are priceless.

I let em go over 4.5lbs or so...less she's too stressed or hooked deep. I'm not gonna mount anything under 8.8lbs....gonna set up a fishing game room/man cave w/ mounts of all saltwater species (most replicas). Want a setup something like this w/ the fighting chair as my night capper! Gonna make it a fish memorial!
