@Sean. If it wasn't already dead, yes it would.
I don't carry a priest as there is always a suitable rock or stick to deliver the coup de grace on the river bed and this was done as soon as possible after netting this fish.
I too take the occasional fish to eat and this young lady was in such good nick it was an easy decision to make.
I have no objection what so ever to killing trout or other game/pests in a humane and respectful manner.
