On the other hand: brown tout is an invasive species in this case and the Montana grayling hasn't evolved together with the brown trout like the European grayling did. So there may be a problem. I am bit amused by the uproar caused by the fact that the sportfisher who caught the monster brown trout, did not put his trophy trout back! This fish had lived a full life and probably made many contributions to the propagation of its species. It was in fact already 'over the top'. What is the reason for catch & release then? Do we execute C&R just to give someone else the chance to catch the same tropy trout the next week or the next month?
