No, it's not that. It's more the thought of how
those rich, hoity-toity *******s seem to be glorified
because their wallets are fat. Most, if not all, are
total assholes who seem to think they are entitled
to waste resources, pollute the air and water and
generally act like selfish jerks whose **** doesn't
stink that gets my goat.

Hmmm... is that any different than these poor, hoity-toity *******s
glorifying because their wallets are thin?

Is it really any better to glorify oneself because he/she/it is a
total looser and lacks sufficient brain power or education (in a land
where education is essentially free) to earn a decent living? Or
alternately, is too lazy to work?

After all, the bulk of the U.S. "upper 10 percent" got there through
their own efforts, not through inheritance.


Attempting to point out OTHER dregs of humanity doesn't
make the dregs of humanity in the form of sports fishermen
rapists look more admirable, dude.


I can only assume that you one of those wild eyed vegetarians that
abhor eating fish, fowl and other "living things"?

I've always wondered abut y'all.Given all the evidence that Man is an
omnivores creature. Not only proved so by archeology but by witnessing
primitive societies which invariability eat everything that they can
get their hands on.

So what is the problem with a fisherman going to sea in a boat to
catch fish? After all, it has been going on as long as there have
been "man".

Or is it the luxury that you descry? The so obvious envy for someone
that can own a boat larger than a toy? And who actually uses it to go
somewhere and do something other than just squat there in their
floating trailer.

Um, are you dense? It's the sport in sport fisherman that
is offensive.

It's one thing for a commercial fisherman to make a living
catching and selling fish. It's another thing entirely to
make a *sport* about killing fish you don't even want to
eat. Sport fisherman are trophy fishing. They kill so they
can brag.

That is despicable behavior.

I see.... Ironic isn't it that a bloke that catches a fish is
despicable while a bloke that has built his career on lying, cheating,
stealing, and bad mouthing others, is (apparently) to be respected?

That's not entirely accurate in my experience. Many of them do eat
their catch or give it away to friends, family and dockmates. Most of
the large but not trophy fish get photographed and released. If you
see a sportfisherman at the dock with a good catch of Mahi Mahi or
Wahoo, offer to buy some and they will usually end up giving you
enough for a good meal or two.

I've never met a sportfisherman who did not eat what he caught. If he
catches something inedible or protected such as a tarpon, it's returned
live presumably to prosper as before.
