Catch and release of the smallest fish and the biggest fish is much more popular now than it used to be.
In northern waters, like here in Minnesota, fish grow slowly. In many lakes the big mature fish were all caught long ago. It takes a long time have to grow more big fish. By harvesting only middle "eating size" fish, the number of big ones of breeding age increases faster and stays. Young people have accepted that if they catch and release the big fish, the big fish can be caught again and again, giving more people the thrill of catching a big fish.
The smaller fish are also generally better eating, with less chemical residues than the older fish. Similar to feeder market cattle are better eating than old stock cows and bulls, and market pigs are better eating than the old brood sows and boars. Just like most farmers, young people are now choosing to eat the smaller feeder fish instead of the breeding stock.
I can accept taking a big fish to mount as a trophy that will last for many many years. To eat them is a waste.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
