The article indicates this fisherman caught some heat for bringing it

It would have been more "manly" to let it go...alive.


""It's wonderful news to hear of the existence of large breeding
animals, but from a conservation point of view, it was a shame the

what was he supposed to do? release it when it's dead?

still breeding.

You want to keep fish like that in the water and producing more little
