I hate stuff like this.

This female which probably would have still been able to birth many other offspring was killed by this guy just because he wanted a Trophy.

So by killing this fish he's stopped one line of future generations of the same fish, crazy!

Not only that, but what a splendid specimen and he decided to cut its life short.

And no flames cos of "its a sport" and all that crap, cos I used to hunt rabbits myself many, many years ago, But I would have been utterly disgusted with myself if I'd shot a doe and not a buck.

I guess the fact he filleted it, and I'm assuming this, means that he intends to eat it, which isn't too bad I guess, But still, what a waste.

I know many people who used to shoot with a gun for sport, now they shoot with a camera for the memories.

When I first came across this a few days ago, the write-up I read stated he cut it up for eating purpose before getting an offifial weight. Yes he took a photo because it was an awesome creature but I believe his intention was to feed him and/or his family afterwards.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see you already knew this. Having said that I agree with you to a point. I simply would not ever kill anything of nature for simple sporting pleasure, but at the very least he did eat it.
