lots of people eat them I am not much of a fish eater though I only fish on the catch and release days we have here for them . They tag them after you catch them to try to study them. it takes them years and years to get big. that one in my picture could be 70 to a 100 years old. thats what I was told any way. I just cant see killing some thing that has been alive two to three times longer then me..... just for a little bit of nasty meat and there eggs........
