Let's hope they don't reproduce! Listening to NPR yesterday to a story about Fish & Wildlife experts suggesting that keeping the 'big' fish and 'throwing back the small' was the exact wrong approach to ensure survival of worthy fishing stock; that if the smaller fish were kept and the largest thrown back, the quality and size of the population might well double in short order.
