Why would you tag it? If released, there is the possibility that it will survive and if it doesn't it adds to the biomass of the stream. Both outcomes are better than a few dinners, IMHO.


if its pumping blood theres no way it is going to spawn. let alone make it more than a hour or so. as far as biomass for the system i don't think it would really impact it one way or the other with or without one fish.
