Same here. Any of mine could be used, but there are a lot of good ones, so I wouldn't want to have to decide and will be happy with whatever winds up on top by submission or your choice, Tom. What Maj called a turn around of the thread is more important.

This fish was caught opening day this year on my own water that is 100% C&R. A 26" Hen, that fought like hell. She did not however make it after quite a long time attempting to revive her, try as I may she simply turned upside down. So rather than set-her-adrift kidding myself she "may" make it, I took her to the house and filleted her. Out of hundreds of fish this season, she is the only one that was an obvious kill. Reality says more probably didn't make it....but as noted earlier, this is a blood sport. I did not intend to kill her.....BUT, it was a wonderful couple of meals. I would never for one second waste her.
