That sounds stpuid Hes lived long so he has to live longer? No ima eat that big ass fish and throw back the small ones, so THEY have a chance to grow. That trout is a predator for smaller trout and fish, taking that one out is not going to hurt the others. If you wanna bitch about unsportsman like conduct, talk about the commercial line fishing, mass amounts of fish are killed, and a percentage that isnt sold, gets thrown.
