To each his own but the main reason I would think to release a bigun is to give it a chance to get even bigger...maybe grow to be a record or samtin...u can catch plenty of smaller ones to eat

4+ I let go, mainly due to the fact I prefer 12inch trout to eat. No point in keeping a 4+ unless she swallowed it deep.

If its made it that far to get to the 4 pound range, why not let it go. It survived every tom **** and harry pilgrim trying to get it to eat there dead skrimp.


my point of view.

thats exactly how i think! Don't really care to eat them and hate cleaning them! And if it was up to me every fish would go back, but my Dad HATES throwing back fish. He wants to invite 5 ppl everytime we go to big lake cuz he's afraid he'll have to throw a fish back. One stingy mofo right there. 4 freezers at the house.. all full of fish, plus many family members freezers full too. I try to give as much as I can away, I have to clean the damn things most of the time

Not sayin that you guys dont have your reasons. Its just that for a little while there it was startin to sound like there was something wrong with the people who didnt throw them back. I dont get to go often, so as long as its legal its usually coming back with me. I go to put fish in the freezer.

I told him when I hit double digits I will put one on the wall. Well then life started Full time job part time fish and they lowered the limit and less big fish being caught and crowed lake full of texans and pilgrims. . But I will say I didn't catch the big ones in the lake.

Most people who say they keep them all... Big ones also..don't really catch big trout or enough to under stand...I respect them just to know I might get that 10lber one day...I'm not concerned with eggs are reproduction...we have Millions of trout for that.....I want a chance at her 3 years from now...the more let go, the better my chance
