Back in the early 90's we where using rainbow trout as bait.
They where only 6 ins or so but we had this one poor fellow who lost one eye after catching a nice one and than said what the hell,let him catch one more and he lived for 2 days more and brought in 3 fish.After the third fish me and my FLA buddie Carl figured it was freedom for the little bowtrout that DID!!!! And off he swan into the depths of Lake Cumberland with(btw ) no eye's at that time....... So if you ever catch a Rainbow trout with no eyes in the Lake cumberland area pls let him go. He was good to Rock........
