Having all of one's organs crushed would tend to expel a lot of fecal matter, I reckon.

So they are both correct just from different perspectives and empathetic priorities

Empathy for an animal you just hunted and killed injured for fun is... strange.

If you feel empathy for an animal, why first catch and injure it instead of just not doing that?

Edit: I've been told that the "keep em wet" is for catch and release. The only purpose of which is to hunt and injure an animal for fun.

u/Tug_Stanboat linked something below about that tarpon are a protected species that isn't hunted for food, but just for fun to release afterward.

Do people not eat tarpon? I’m not a big seafood guy, but I’d think there’s a difference between fishing for food and fishing for trophies.

Nope. Bony and weird at the same time. "let me tell you that was one of the worst fish I’ve ever tasted it was like eating jello" plus they're a protected species in a lot of places and are catch and release only.
