I'm not a hunter, but wouldn't this be akin to raising a pig walleye in a specially outfitted swimming pool in the back yard, fed high-growth feed, carefully bred, and protected from any and all predators, until such a time that it is bigger than the current record? Then throw it in the livewell, drive to the river/lake, hoist it at the ramp, and wait for all the adoration?
Seems to me that the guys who do this, find the trophy more important than the hunt.
I can't imagine having your buds come over to see your new trophy, and more or less having to tell them that you bought it.
Just my two-cents.
