I read it as let the big breeders live. I read it as "As much as it would be great to hang a 40 or a 50 it would be even better to catch one and release it to breed again".
The "real" fisherman I know I believe when they say they got a 30, 40 or 50 (or a 20 or less). There are times to hang one, but there are times to be happy with what you get and let them go as you know you earned it.
