They're probably keeping it so they will have a better chance of being believed. Its gotten pretty common within the fishing community for rumors to circulate that somebody's trophy catch was either a figment of their imagination or a commercial by-catch passed off as a rod and reel catch.
It's more complicated than just; catch-and-release is good, keeping fish is bad.
What do I think? My opinion is that long as a person is within the law, what they do with their catch is their own business. More effort should be made toward catching the poachers - a lot more fish are falling to them - they're not smiling for the camera.
