Overestimated the size of our tank! (w/ pics)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I dont understand though because when you catch fish to eat them they are tortured. They are dangled on a stringer in the water. They j ust stay alive until they are ready to get their heads chopped off.

Or even worse, one time I went deep sea fishing when I was about 13 maybe, and I caught a sea bass and a snapper and before I could say anything like "I am not going to keep them" they strung them and put them in the freezer. They just froze the live fish to death. That has to be one of the most excrusciating pains. I can't even imagine it.

I think what he did was completely responsible, he was going to eat a fish, he decided to see if he couldn't keep it for a little while and then realized it was too big for a tank but just big enough for a meal.

Neat story.
 
I agree nice story. Glad to see another LMB keeper. You are pretty lucky that trout didn't eat your little guy though. If you want some tank mates I would go with a couple bullhead catfish or any catfish that stays reasonably small for that matter man. They flow good in bass tanks because they hide a lot and don't really ever bother the bass. You can see them lurking in the background during the day but at night or at feeding time it's a whole different story.:)

It was never "wild" it was born in a hatchery, fed pellets for a few months then dumped someplace just to be caught... These Trout are not even native to his region and as far as my 2 cents are concerned who cares if it was taken...I surely do not...
 
How big was he? no laws on trout out in AZ? or was this from a lake? One day im going to keep a trout... I know 2 ppl that have 3lbers in one tank.
 
Looks like it made a nice meal :)
 
poor fishy :(
