I've never been vicious, but I admit to becoming a bigger softie in my old age. And, yes, I was referring to attempting to keep them alive in the water but rendering them unable to escape.
My dad never fished in lakes because we lived near saltwater. We'd often go out salmon fishing, and he did have a large ice chest for the fish, and he would kill them as soon as they got in the boat and then put them on ice. Of course a 15 or 20 pound salmon flopping around on the floor of your boat is a bit different than a 1 pound trout twitching.
