I would have to agree with you on this one.We hear the saying a lot,"It'll make a good smoker" My theory is,if you would'nt BBQ it, or bake it, or whatever, why in the hell do you think it would be good enough to smoke? Let it complete its cycle.If it can spawn let it,if not, its still good for the river and its ecosystem by supplying needed nutrients.
