Has catch and release gone too far? There’s nothing wrong with catching and eating fish

Not long ago, a buddy of mine showed me a picture on his phone a buddy of his had sent. It was a massive brown trout – at least six pounds by my eye – caught from a smallish, unheralded stream.
“He kept that fish,” my buddy said.
I shrugged. If it was legally taken, he had every right, despite an unofficial taboo in the trout fishing community against keeping trout. I wouldn’t have kept that fish, but that’s neither here nor there.
