Now, I can definitely see this with a large Steelhead or a Salmon, or even some ocean species, but when you talk TROUT or even that Henry's Lake Hybrid in the 30" + length, I got to think the fish is too old and would not be good eating at all. I don't think even smoking would help.
That is one reason I encourage release of the 30+ fish. Get the pictures and measurements for the fiberglass trophy, and let it go.
It taste bad and chances are, that big they are on their last season.
Just my opinion, and I don't judge others.
Now the Henry's 24" fed three of us quite nicely...Mmmmmmmmmm[
