At least Real Fisherman do practice catch & release sometimes (maybe all the time) in the real world. Not like these BOZOs' idea.
Why is it that the fishermen are "REAL FISHERMEN" when they practice catch and release but these hunters would be just a bunch of "BOZOS"? I guess I am not a real fishermen cause if I am going to go fishing I am coming home with supper and more to go in my freezer for supper another day. They are both a catch and release style of "hunting". Yes fishing is hunting, you are just doing it in the water.
First off, I didn't mean REAL fisherman in some kind of Macho connotation. I meant actual, everyday fisherman sometimes (perhaps all the time) practice catch and release (thankfully). Most I know generally always release. However, no hunter I know practices catch and release hunting, so why have these idiots start some new trend that can onlylead to perpetuating "big business hunting" and deteriorating ethics. As I said, I don't particularly like those Bass tournaments but some outdoorsman do. No real outdoorsman could be in favor of this "hunting" style however.
Fishing and hunting are not the same as fish and animals are not the same-- common sense--although they are similar. Both must be treated with the utmost respect. If you want to starta campaign against those pro Bass tournaments--feel free--If it sounds likea good thing perhaps I'll sign up, meanwhile, I'll pick my battles wisely, and the one against these goobers is a no-brainer
