  • For that precise reason, sometimes there are actual rules, but generally to conserve the species voluntarily. One of the trout I returned is probably the biggest in a 5 mile stretch of the Darent, prime breeding stock, I also returned the same fish two years ago.

    I totally fucking envy you a 27lb salmon, which almost certainly wasn't returned.

  • It wasn't! I gaffed it, beat it over the head, gutted it and ate it! All very intense for a 12 year old. It fought for 45 mins, never showing more than a fin until it was in the shallows. Must have had quite a life. It had a scar from a lamprey or something.
