The more it weighs the more great taste you get. (if taste is constant)

I was happy getting my first today and it was only 5 pounds, as I caught it in my small local stream just a few blocks from my house. It was wild, so I let it go. I only had an hour before work, so it was quite pleasing. I have more time to spend tomorrow to hunt for hatchery fish.
