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.

You would like it better if they killed and kept the sharks?
No, dummy. I'd like it better if they left the sharks alone, and stopped
targeting them.

But you enjoy targeting other fish for Catch and Release. How many of those
don't make it?
