Careful now. If you start attacking fisherman, you won't have Harry
around
to fight your battles for you. In other words, you'll be in new,
uncharted
waters.

Fishermen get no dispensation from me. Killing things for sport isn't
cool,
and it's certainly not "conservative."

If you're fishing to eat, that's okay by me. If one out of 50 fish are
big
enough to eat, that's not fishing to eat. Time to try another hole.


You really don't have a clue. No responsible sport fisherman is out
*killing* fish for sport. Practicing tried and true catch and release
techniques virtually guarantees the survival of your catch.

Use circle hooks so you gut-hook fewer fish.
Use a wet rag when handling them.
Revive your catch before throwing them back.
Properly vent bottom fish before releasing them.

Five people went fishing the other day. We caught upwards of 100 fish...and
all but one swam off in good health when released. We also kept 3 grouper,
3 mackeral, a couple of dozen grunts, and a couple of dozen snapper for
dinner. I had enough for lunch and dinner that day...and another couple of
pounds went into the freezer. Nothing glutinous.

As for "keeping 1 out of 50"...it's because the regulations are set up that
way. They set the parameters so that most fish are released and can
rejuvenate the populations.

I've seen plenty of fish float to the surface after darting off, technique
or no technique.

You mean...er...ummm....you fish?

It is not fishing, it is called slaughtering our natural resources. I hope
he does not own a fossil fuel internal combustion engine.

Listening to him preach to you, is as funny as watching Harry preach against
hunting, as he munches on a steak.

Yup, twin 454s. Audi A6 2.7 litre twin turbo. Jeep Grand Cherokee for the
wife and kids. Chev c-20 for gardening. Merc 25 on the dink. Tecumseh 2.5
horse on the edger, 25cc on the trimmer, electric lawnmower.

I use them all gently and keep them properly tuned.

I imagine that most of the "steaks" you all munch on are made of cow, eh?
When's the last time you hunted a cow Bill? Did you have trouble following
his trail and stocking him? Did you find him in his pen ****ing on himself
or was he already dressed and ready to go?

I eat mammals a couple of times a year. I eat wild fish and range free
chicken.

jps,
I don't hunt anything, nor do I fish. Anyone of average intelligence would
have noticed I was highlighting the hypocrisy of those who preach one thing
and live their life another way.

I don't catch and release and I always tread as lightly as possible.
