My BIGGEST Brown Trout Caught Bottom Bouncing - Lake Ontario 2018

It's been awhile since we fished St. Catharines but good thing we made the trip today.
Daniel caught 1 steelhead, 1 brown and lost a few. I managed to catch my biggest brown to date and lost 3.
I think the reason I was losing my fish was due to the drag being to tight when fighting the fish. I think my issue was getting constant snags on the bottom, I would tighten my drag to get my sinker loose and forget to loosen it up after. I should've been more aware.
The setup we used for today was a bottom bouncing rig with a 3 way swivel, 3/4oz sinker and a roe bag with floaters. We would cast it into the current and let it bounce along the bottom and wait for a bite. It's a technique I'm still figuring out.
Question for you guys... would you have kept that hen for all its eggs? I'd like to know what you guys would've done if you caught a hen of that size loaded with eggs.
I would've kept the smaller ones but that's just me.
