I can't believe no-one is upset about him culling a dead or dying fish.
That'll get you the death penalty in most any circuit I've ever fished.
In addition to showing total disdain for the resource, it's also
cheating, pure and simple. By culling a dead or soon-to-be-dead fish, he
evaded the dead fish penalty he had already earned by not turning on the
air pumps. By his own admission, there were 4 dead fish in the well. He
only weighed in two.
