The article indicates this fisherman caught some heat for bringing it
home.
The boat captain said it was the fisherman's choice.
Seems to me the captain gets to set the rules.

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

Just like the 12 foot Sturgeon 3 guys wrestled in near Goderich,
Ontario. They are FORCED to let it go, by law. It did swim away.


I guess I just don't understand fishing or hunting for "trophies." When
I fish to actually catch fish, I go for "table fish," common fish of
ordinary size that aren't so big they've become tough or bad-tasting.
Hell, I don't much like the taste of the sought-after striped bass in
chesapeake bay. I prefer flounder or sea trout.
