I couldn't agree more. It's sickening to see a guy keep a dark hen or buck, even worse when he holds it up for a picture, like they're proud of their catch regardless of how dark it is.

"It'll smoke up OK..."

"Bet it has some good eggs.."

There's really no excuse. I've seen too many fish bonked then the guy cuts them open and the eggs spill out - and you can tell it was just days away from spawning. If people are fishing for eggs, do it at a store, not on the rivers. A fish that makes it that far deserves more respect. My two cents...
