You bring up a good point TS. In a recent magazine, a young woman caught a basket ball shaped Brown and was really proud of it, as the gentleman in another magazine that landed a HUGE brown out of the Madison I think.
Anyway, both fish were un-revivable. The magazines then came back at both these with little comments about how they KILLED these fish.
First off, the gals fish was PACKED with eggs and was not releasing any...not sure it would have survived anyway, and the gentleman's was probably at the end of it's life span as well.
I know I took crap for the 36"er.
Fishing is a BLOOD SPORT no two ways about it. All we can do is try the best we can at C&R, but OMG....if you catch the biggest fish of your life...enjoy it!
Sorry, I had to vent.
As far as the FG. I know some divers that are scared to go there!
