You know you can always leave them to grow for next year if they aren't big enough for you... Especially if you think you are killing half with your c&r technique.

I never said anyone owes me anything. I trout fish all year, including all through the winter. I make about 150 trips a year all over central and northern N.J. Some weeks I fish six days a week. Mostly three to four times a week is average. I put most of my fish back because I don't like the way trout taste. I keep a boat in AH and rather eat saltwater fish.
But seeing a six (6) or (7) seven inch fish on the end of my line is ridiculous and senseless. I keep hoping every cast I'll get a holdover trout just once. Maybe I'm getting frustrated by setting my goals too high.
