Most of the people I meet that are strictly catch and release are people who aren't in a position, or have never been in a position, where they rely on fish for food. Most have big expensive boats, super nice/expensive rods and reels, and are of a financial status that they never need to think of fish as a food source. Every angler that I have met while bank fishing was either looking for food, or had no problem keeping a fish for food. It's the fishermen with the high and mighty "holier than thou" attitude that always seem to impose their opinions on others.
