I had a trout this year that died in my hands while I was trying to revive it. It was very strange, it was like it was trying to cough out air or something and within a couple minutes it was dead. The fish was under legal size so I had no choice other then to throw it back into the lake... Very frustrating.
Although it may seem like a better idea to keep it and eat it the fines if you are caught doing so are ridiculous.

I had a cut-throat die in the net. The hook must have hit an artery or something wierd cause it was an easy release (barbless single) and the fish was not even taken out of the water until photo time, lifted it out and it was dead already. No choice but to leave it for the resident sea-eagles.
