If all the biggest fish are getting caught and killed, won’t that give smaller fish an evolutionary advantage?

Fishing is a little bit different than that. It's the big fish who are able to avoid getting caught, which is how they get to live to be so big.

Maybe if we're talking line fishing, but I'm pretty sure most commercial fishing is done with trawling nets, where everything above a certain size is caught.
