Mad Fin Shark Tournament. What the hell is the point in "sharking"?
Catching pelagics only to release them, under circumstances in which
most of them are gut-hooked and therefore probably will die?

I do C&R fishing myself, but not for pelagics you have no intention of
eating, not for a long, long time. I can see catching and keeping a tuna
or some other "eating" fish, or a kingfish, or Spanish macks, et
cetera, but catching fish you have no intention eating?

Folly.


It really *is* a lame program. I vote with my finger and just keep
channel surfing

same here. maybe we should also send a note to the program advertisers
that we ain't supportin them if they support this 'sport'.
