I have to agree with Mark last year I personally watched a fisherman and I use that term lightly, catch many trout on corn then use pliers to rip the hook out the poor trout, thinking he was going to keep it for the pan. To my supprize I watched him throw it back only to watch it go belly up immediately, I was fishing below him later that evening only to count no less than 5 dead trout floating past me, when I questioned him about his pratice I was told F_ _ _ it I payed for my license. What a terrable waste :-(

Well, this seems to make a little more sense. If a trout can
pass a crunchy exoskeleton, why not a slippery kernel? Perhaps
the fish mortality that some have noted shortly after the time
corn was used may have been caused by rough handling when the
fish were caught.
