"TORTURES"?!?!? Fish don't feel pain like that--their brains are too small. This sounds like something PETA would say.
That's exactly why it was worded the way it was.
Fishing is about not only killing and eating, but about comuning with nature, and being out there just God, your rod and reel, you and sometimes your buddies or family, and God willing abass or twowill join you for supper.(hehe) It's about sunsets, and sunrises, frost on the ground, and the breeze on your face. We're on this earth as not only stewards of the other life on it, but as partakers as well. Last I checked money didn't have much of a place in nature. Money doesn't feed a pack of sharks.This whole sham of a "competition" is a thinly veiled perversion of our beloved heritage for the sake of greed.
It's all in how you word it.
And I personally dont care if a few of thier 20 pound Bass die.
Boy, if there was ever a statement that would qualify you as sportsman of the year this one is it.[&:][:'(]
Hunting is not about publicity and and winning millions.
So I assume that you don't watch any hunting shows on television, have any hunting videos, or anything of this nature in your house.
No one here goes goo goo gaa gaa about Tiffany Lekowski when she and a big buck are published in a magazine or on this very board?
No one here has any animals registered with B&C or P&Y?
I could go on and on with examples of publicity and millions of dollars but it would take up several pages.
I never knew there were so many hypocrites on this board. [&:]
Oh well. If you guys can't see the similaraties between the twonothing i will say is gong to change your minds.
I'll just leave this discussion and you all can keep on boycotting all you want.
