Big and healthy trout that live in river systems, and other big and healthy fish, are generally the spawners in the ecosystem. They are super important to the overall health of the biomass within the river. To kill a fish this big is pretty irresponsible.

@@eliseott The evening started in a downtown establishment called The Office. In the space of an hour we had 2 tables destroyed by fights literally landing on them. Both fights were broken up by a small, 55 0r 60 yo lady who was running the place and had zero hesitation in getting in the middle of things. While that was semi-dramatic, the weirdness started after we left. Those stories are for another forum, however.

On a three day hike a couple of years ago, I met a man who was drinking his tea from his favourite china tea cup. When I asked him why he would bring such a thing, he replied, "because his tea tasted better and so the extra weight and fragility didn't matter". Another man on the same hike brought along his espresso coffee making gear. His reasoning was that it made his start to the day better, so it was worth the extra weight. These men have taught me that if something makes your journey better and you're willing to carry it, then it simply doesn't matter if it increases your gear base weight, and it doesn't matter what anyone thinks. I now take a jet boil minimo as well as a jet boil skillet because I like to have better meals. Simple. No further justification needed.
